Jerusalem Moon
Jerusalem moon
listen on youtube or here
anticipating scars of moonlight tapping my window tonight
from my Jerusalem moon
a private call
when city worshipers sleep
exhausted defending their gods
with sticks, stones, history & verses
I rise to pray in my own way
evidence of faith weighs heavy
I've been marking calendars
tracking phases of the moon
in the 12 constellations,
counting blue stars
I know them by name.
fading smiles wilt
from sheets of cold nights, anticipating hope
the perfect treat for my bitter silence
Where is this patience taking me?
there are no clouds in the Jerusalem night sky,
somethings not wanted, pretenders
like circles in the sky painted with milk,
dying in the mirror looks easy
pacifying this old infant in me takes time.
my entries of once upon a time
scratched, rewritten to "before time,"
staining her rosy pillow lips
with the moody ink of my pen...
Is she mad?
I just wanted to stretch back into
both ends of her "forever"....
I want to flee this human skin
to be infected, return to dust,
to be the sky & matter that holds her,
my adore... aptly named laly.
I want to morph where ever she is,
I just wanted laly my Jerusalem moon
in my arms and deeper in the cradle of my heart,
part of God's original peaceful creation
in the Jerusalem night sky
and hum with her a tune....
bringing peace to those some in dire need
humming a tune with my Jerusalem moon ....
