Moon
by ellen
the moon gives a man
to a woman
drops run wild inside her
they are the stars falling
the man touches
the bottom of the sea
within the woman
moon water rises
descendant of fish
swimming in amnion
clinging like a pearl
red moon mocks the sun
steady as a stone
the woman bends
to the weight of water-gourds
and a child curled in her center
full moon
illuminates the woman
her body is a bell
she hears only one sound
