This was created for the Late Night Poets Ekphrastic Radio show to be aired on Saturday, May 28th. So, I usually don’t record audio, but since I can’t make this show, I decided to add a SoundCloud.
Full Moon Serenade
Full moon serenade–
a silver-plated copper face
illuminates our way.
The oars strum gently,
keep a steady pace.
Tender as a tremolo,
strings of light
meet frets of shade.
The rock of his ripple,
The swoon of her sway.
Full moon serenade–
a nylon spool threads
agate pegged night,
brighter than barn light.
My windy warbler
ferries me through slate sky.
Pluck me sweetly, love,
in this high tension heat,
Go slow, an arpeggio,
until our melodies meet.
Full moon serenade–
glassy harmonic shadows,
underwater tremolo.
Hold me close
while tongues trill.
Drift with me
till dream and
waking slur.
Till there is only we;
no him nor her.
