Divagation Moon

New Moon  June 25, 2025

‍

Remember what you love. Remember what loves you. Remember in this tide of hate what love is. The pain you feel is because of what you love.

           —Rebecca Solnit

‍

Red of the horsetail whisk of bougainvillea

White the bloody bolls of horror cotton clung-to

Blue from indigo orientalism fresh fading bruise

‍

Red the throated sky bird as she buzz dusk swallow

White archival paper before graphite shades descend

Blue as a wandering heart grappled sick in grief

‍

Red is the color of my true loves hair

White washes failed to deliver

Blue melodies live here
