Karuna-luna

Solitarily matchless

A shadow-faced beast

Its own companion, unmarried

Moving as echo

A frequency hinged

On gravity

Grazed buoy

Solely decentered

Gunpowder ink

Un-calibrated vellum,

Dispossessed of

Memory

Helios-graveyard

Shape shifting lumen

Astral energies,

Dismantling irradiance

Reimagined myth:

Karuna-luna

Oceanic lei

The sole of the moon

Its sole on your life

Face ever forward,

Feet turned back

Orbiting Ciguapa

Iambic phoneme

A soft press, listening

To the base of one’s heart
