Spiral Heights
Muted orange, a few hours earlier, this Monday eve,
Now boasting a brilliant alabaster gleam,
The waxing moon scales the sky's orb web,
Reaching for its star-whisperous zenith,
Above where I sit, in this docked pontoon boat,
Beseeching me to surrender to its enchantments,
Which I do, with the submissiveness of a newborn
Suckling on fantasies, reveries, innocent dreams
Spawned in night's warm womb.
For eons, at least, I watch the lunar orb
As it shimmers in and out of the clouds' silken filaments,
Climbing the brightness of night's spiral heights.
