Moonwater

Where the night pours its light

My white gown is brown.

Yes, there was this sweet orange light.
It had decided to fall on the lands of the poetess.

She had departed.

Light was reliving her footsteps.
Light was pulling me into a myth.
I was drinking its juice.

There was a notebook in my hand.
My feet were of mud.
