August Full Moon
Red Moon
was new at your wedding
with tomatoes and basil
from your father’s garden
which he calls your garden
and twinkle lights
in place of moonlight.
The mozzarella was round
and white. You carried roses
and rosemary with a ruby
on your hand and evergreen
in your hair, and the moon
grew full in Aquarius.
July Full Moon
Thunder Moon
My magic is big
at the full moon:
at the apex, thunder
arrives right on time
twin moths arrive
on the screen: lunar
symbols, moths:
they find their way
and lose their way
by orbs of light.
I toss coins, consult
the I Ching: Arousing,
Shock, Thunder:
Shock brings success.
Shock comes—oh no!
Laughing words—ha, ha!
In the garden, I banish
my demons: I cover them
with moss and sticks.
