Take Me
Brother gods Zeus Poseidon Hades
of the sky the sea the underworld
convened at twilight at the Mount
Quite puzzled at near dawn
when the moon magically
kissed earth a pastel red hue
Reddish in the cloudless valleys
into steppes pinkish all along the
the seashores and city scapes
Rubbing their eyes from stupor
again marvel at the tint changing moon
from bright silver stoicism to oven red iron hot
again pound their chests vigorously
thunder lightning curses thrown in sneers
ungodly acts helpless acceptance
the splendor in the sky love scene
As mortal earth silently gently splendidly completely consumed
the naked waiting moon with ochre red blood shadow
full dominant mocking of the Mount immortals supremacy
