You glow like a thousand moons

Scattering your mysteries

deep into the night.

Ancient tales of all those

who pass under your blooms.

Your faint scent, whisked away

by a gail-forced push

Before it can reach me.

You share a petal with my shoulder

But I don’t notice before it’s gone;

Up, up and away…

Joined the star circus

above the nightfall clouds.
