This moonlight is not my delight!: A poem 

(I am disgusted with Walter De La Mare’s Silver! WordPress, why do you always humour me the wrong way? Piss off!!!)

I read a poem about the moonlight 

taking us all, man and woman, 

And filling the rivers, lands, and trees, 

with its soul. And I shuddered to think,  

that this may actually be an Age, 

where Man be betrothed to man, and will  

cease to be his brother, but lover; 

And woman would cease to be fertile 

and Motherhood! I woke up to feel that  

water in my eyes, neither tear, nor salt! 

But grief! And I wondered, if the Moon 

was her own Psyche, thus prepared to 

slowly dispatch herself from Earth’s  

environs; like a circle discovering its own  

momentum in a gravitationless entirety! 

I wondered if Gaia would see chaos at  

Artemis’ loss! I then drop on my knees   

to seize a higher wonder, where cow jumps  

over the moon and ask for my Mother, if I 

wound the clock back to Virgo-Aries or 

much forward to Gemini-Capricorn?!! 

That be it my 12.00 or my 26:00, I carve my  

Mother in an art (not Artemis!) profoundly  

unsinister and wisely lucid as my Mother was! 

Am I to be told about the Moon ever again! 

Shut up, if you all care to dignify me! I swear, the  

Moon can never be my Mother! I will have no Mother 

But my Mother herself! My indignation and outrage  

at them for saying: Let the Moon dress the earth!!! 

It is you my Capricorn-Aries Mother, who will and  

only can dress the soil of my Earth. It is you who 

are my gold Mother, like the gold of My Dad! 

I will always reject the slithering silver of the Moon!!!!
