September And The Moon

I want to hold hands

with September

and the moon

blooming in the sea.

For a few moments

life has been silenced

by splashing waves.

I don’t have to breathe

hectic, or sacrifice peace

to the rumble of traffic.

Night rocks me in its cradle

of misted stars until I forget

tears wait on my eyelids.

I am alone with September

blushing my skin with dreams,

the moon, and secrets.
