Sonnett CCXXVII...

I observe the feint moon,
rise into an eastern blue sea,
lingering for long moments
low – then climbing the summer sky.

I think of you
warm and satisfied,
a petal wrapped within his arms -
silk & pearls strewn thoughtlessly,

your lean fingers entwined
in his like stems of  the wild sage,
holding onto the evening wind,
bending in a will-o-the-wisp way.

I consider your naked feet, painted toes,
once trembling with my kisses.
