spicing the moon


tonight she’s all
cinnamon-simmer,
a saffron-shimmer
in a cardamom sky.

melt her center,
spent. bent towards
some semblance of jazz
-mine grace, her face
a swollen
slice of stolen
nutmeg pie.

sprinkle her in crater
-cradled stars. sp(l)ice her soul
in two. this half is ours.

    Hot damn, girl. I LOVE THIS!!! The moon as a red-hot candy. 🙂 I’ve been craving spiced tea, big time, lately.

    I am nuts over how you spliced “spice” by adding a little l(ick).

    This is my favorite part:
    “bent towards
    some semblance of jazz” … I do love me some jazz.
