Asters Under a Hunter's Moon















Photo: Jamie K. Reaser


In bold defiance of nothing

we convene under a Hunter’s Moon,

white asters blooming

thighs to ankles,

a wedding train

that spans the width of this trail

and down the Path

eternally.



Life proposed at conception,



but it has taken me

decades to yield to

my worthiness as a blushing bride.



The owl says, “Who?”



And I declare, “me” -



Committing to an inextricable partnership

with the World

at the altar

of a humble and privileged

embodiment.



This breath says, “Yes.”

And so does this one.
