the full moon in Taurus

closes me down

and my life (what's left of it)

pivots on this moon

opens a new way

from the old closure

I lie in bed

and watch the waxing gibbous

approach this point

and the weariness feels good

and slipping into sleep

is as peaceful as the breathing of a baby


would my actual leaving of the world

be this calming this serene


but however it comes

I'll follow the full moonlight up

and toss down a secure line

for who of my tribe will follow...
