Caked by the moon’s blood
It was our virginal touch
I thought of you
As a wolf howling for mystery
As we silently
Touched without a sigh
All I remember is the look
In your observant eyes
Muddied
By the moon’s blood
No rain could
Wash it away.
Dance, ye shivering droplets
Our skin is voyeur
Our dance is romance
Immortalise our first kiss.
