A Love Poem for the Moon Celebrating the Solar Eclipse, April 8, 2024
| Moonlight Yoga The October full moon lingers in her pale shadow waiting for the sun to plunge into the sunset river before she enters the night. Standing under an old oak, I place my hand onto its bark thickened and grooved like a rice farmer’s palm. I stretch my arms over the head and slowly arch back like a crescent moon and inhale the faint scent of the old tree. When I was innocent like a plum I used to play hide-and-seek under a harvest moon, hiding behind a stone Buddha with missing ears. I circle the oak, like the moon around the earth not once turning her face to reveal the dark side of her. The full moon beams down onto my head as if trying to levitate me. Aware of her magic that can lift the ocean, I dig down my heels into the earth where I belong. Drinking the forgiving air of the moon-drunken park I amble down to the city light dancing in the full moon night.
