For the full sturgeon moon, the moon when all things ripen.

[lunar glide]

Seeds and sturgeon
searched in darkness
awaiting tonight's truthful moment
in the most truthful season
the summer.

(The most truthful season because
it is when things ripen
when invisible interiors
go out as far as they can go.)

Tonight seed and fish and fruit
and good souls
have finished mixing with themselves
to share with the outside
to mingle until
even your haze turns red
in a celestial compote
from a single womb
in enjoyment of a moment
when omniscience is shared
by all living things
and all energy
belongs to love.

we are love tonight, our moon.

Great line!

Really, the whole thing is a poetic gem.

What a vivid, apt description of spawning, as metaphor for truth!

This is so enchantingly poetic, lg, and the juxtaposition of the cosmos with the mating ritual of all living things in one crimson, celestial brew under a harvest moon heightens the poesy of this lovely piece immeasurably.
