Midnight Women

the moon is out in all its glowing glory,

peeking through tree trunks and chimney sweeps and far across the land.

+ 2 girls sit on a rooftop with their fingers

overlapping and their

heads full of the sort of magic intention that young witches have.

the stars are out

spread across the skies with of outer space + Lady Moon

is awake.

2 girls sit on a rooftop with their legs

overlapping and their faces filled with

moonlight and lust + dusk has come too soon.

Lady Moon blesses the deer and the bears and the

2 girls on the rooftop underneath the moon

before she wakes the sun.

a fierce girl of yellowed hair

she rules the night

+ makes a home

+ shoots the arrows through the sky

without batting an eye.

[ + she kisses girls! everyone knows ].

Lady Moon never gets bored

of the night or the view

or of looking @ midnight women.

and she is a beauty

which doesn't rival the moon

[ but neither do you ].

the elk and the birds cross her path

+ they do not run

she can see herself in wildlife and darkness

she sleeps when the moon goes down.

she wears a nature-like gown.

+ 2 girls sit in the forest with their arms

behind their heads

on their leafy beds and sing to

Lady Moon.

+ she lights up the sky at night

to sing to midnight women.
