Pet of the Month
An old girl going down each morning,
after hard days making the nights look good,
with horizon cloud mantles adorning
the atmosphere that we misunderstood;
her orbits being a death watch on us,
as we clear more brush, because it is there,
and because we must make a profit fuss
until we poison all the fucking air...
the very air her posh beams inspire
like the dazzle from Cleopatra's crown,
above the rondure of all desire,
be she right side up, or viewed upside down,
like the rotating centerfolds of old...
forever turning, as we swains behold.

This reminds me of the clash between innate good and evil! Pet of the Month is an interesting title for this.

Yeah, I've been thinking a lot lately about the interconnectedness of things in general,
and then as I wrote amid the moon trance the verse morphed into a curvature and rotation comparison betwixt both sorts of heavenly bodies, as it so often does.
The moon trance being a truth detector akin to Wonder Woman's magic rope and showing that my mind is still as insidiously stuck with the sexualization pattern search wiring that first became apparent to me as a teenager.
Which begs the question...do ladies see the moon as a dude, or sailboats as a he?
I imagine many do, no matter how I myself am wired.

None that I know, MS. The Moon represents the emotions, instincts, and the feminine principle associated with the menstruation cycle.
Those are the cliff notes, of course, She is so much more, and in traditional astrology, was the only planet aside from Venus to represent the feminine. Now there are the asteroid Goddesses setting the record straight. :)

Asteroid goddesses will be a worthy inter-search.
An excellent antidote for all of the masculine energy hogwash I've been seeing lately ❤️

Something's wrong with my eyesight because I could swear I just saw someone write that they NEEDED to read one of my poems.
LJ...now I love you more than ever, LOL:)

"like the rotating centerfolds of old..."
We get a full view whether it's a warm summer or cold winter night.
Well done MS
