Skeleton Moons in Dark Closets

Posted on January 29, 2019 by whimsygizmo



Crave her. Save her
as a nightlight,
lighthouse
beacon for the sea.

Hold her fast
between these hanger clouds,
the hush-loud sting of stars.

Turn that golden knob.
She’s waiting.

    This is so flipping awesome. I hella dang LOVE the opening. But then also, I love reading “hangers” as in, the clouds are naked until someone dresses them in colorful gowns. Imagine sunset with all those purple and pink prom dresses on! Man, I love that. 🙂
