Eclipse Of the Moon in Sydney
 
I thought she
would disappear
but a globe of orange
burnished caramel
moon rose
though clouded sky
to vanish momentarily,
appear again
with  jaunty black lace cloud tendril hat.
 
and as the moon rose higher
through the darkened yet
illumined sky,
I knew our  thrilling tryst was over
as  my thoughts turned
to my human lover again.
 
A full Scorpio sun rose
through tranquil sleeping sky,
from that first gold spark.
I thought of you, my new lover
and your instant beaming warmth,
your rapid ascent through the
heavens of my heart.
The sun and moon are constant
though they come and go
And I do not really know you yet.
