    Phases of the Moon

    written by Kristen Koester-Smith

    28 days old and she’s whole.

    She appears.

    Full.

    Magical.

    Dressed in satin black and diamonds.

    The others are star stuck.

    She lingers, strong.

    She commands attention, she revels in song.

    Floating high the whole night long.

    Sliding her hands down the back of your neck,

    and tilting your chin to the heavens.

    Arresting gazes.

    Waitless, she flits from eye to eye.

    You bring her home with you,

    take her to bed.

    Treat her like the only bright thing in the sky.

    Goodnight, moon, you whisper.

     

    Another night.

    He tells her he can’t help himself.

    As he touches her where he wants.

    Without asking.

    Demands her skin for himself.

    She doesn’t mind.

    He’s got tattoos and a jawline that could cut moonstone.

    But somewhere inside,

    The part where she believes she belongs to herself,

    Wanes.

About Me

About Me

Hi, I'm Kristen

I write stories, essays, and poems. Sometimes I perform. Sometimes I have conversations with interesting people. I share what I learn because I believe there's no healing in hiding, our lesson's are not our own, and we are all one.
