To the Moon
I have seen a full moon drive a man
crazy as only a woman can, so you must
be a woman with thick red hair.
The Greeks call you Selene—
brightness, moon-faced woman,
curved, voluptuous night figure.
My body swells as you do, waxes
to fullness each month
until we are emptied and new.
You must be a woman who knows
how dark the world can be
on a moonless night—
I have watched men crying
for the moon in alleyways
at two in the morning.

Suggested Collections
Written 2010. I tried to include as many moon references as I could in an attempt to romanticize the moon as a sort of feminine figure, one that is easy to fall in love with.
-Selene is the Greek Goddess of the moon.
-"Moon-faced" means round-faced.
-The swelling body verse is a reference to the cycles of the moon being parallel to menstruation cycles.
-"Crying for the moon" is an old expression which means to yearn for something that is beyond your reach
