Opal+Moon

= OPAL MOON = Laura Lush

Opal moon, beatific moon.

Bigamist among the shuddering stars.

Carry this old earth, cradle the lakes and trees.

Rub your mint throat across deer.

Come quickly, come quietly, the animals are retreating.

The fox, the hare, the speckled bands of snakes. Slowly, slowly, undulating south.
