the moon on my tongue


think how many poems
are born under the moon

how many poets
have failed to resist
the cadence of
liquid light falling
to earth,
whispering soft
sunlight into soil,
then flowing
out again
from spaces
between things
in artesian wells
of magic

tonight I surrender too
and place the bursting
moon on my tongue,
perfect sacramental bread
in a lifetime
of worship
