    Sharp knife of morning
    slice into that cantalope moon
    and let the sweet juice
    roll down the milky way
    and drip puddles in the
    receading shadows, congealing
    pools of blood by the door.
    In sun they are only chalk imprints
    in irradescent paint that
    eyes look through and forget to see.
    There's a need to slice deeper
    reveal the seeds, let them fall
    from their zenith like stars
    shooting down to land, always,
    somewhere over the horizon.
    These seeds rain down, a
    sticky summer hail, catch
    in people's hair and when
    they are swept up, thrown on
    some gull infested dump,
    thrive and grow, blooming into
    the fragrance of a summer night
    as the moon rises and there
    is an unexplainable odor of cantalope
    that refuses to drift by.

    Hunter, your poetry leaves me gasping for words. I loved the cyclic device that you used so very well in this little piece. Beautiful beautiful!
