Moon over Eastern Parkway

Cheryl Boyce-Taylor

last night
moon over
Eastern Parkway

a pale lemon
reflecting pool
I eat from your hands

grasp
pull
pinch

slurp
stutter
slow

sweat
drift
pry

stop
bend
start again

bend
break
take

rip
bite
devour

tug
pull
lose skin

range
depth
slow slow

lift
nibble
weep

wobble
groan
grind

moan
float
repeat

darling
slow
stop repeat.
