Forming the Room Pool
To be sacred, austere, welcoming
was always the goal.
Not expected, yet so anticipated.
Not comfortable, yet so settled.
Frightening like the era.
Eerie in how normal
it was, how discomfiting
it was—pandemic gestation.
New gardens.
New prospects.
Nothing could be usual.
Everything was fuchsia and
naked pink in the pool.
Fitting the Wolf Moon
It’s called that because wolves
howl more in January.
It’s the language that protects,
connects the pack.
Moon mother howls.
Moon parents breathe to
prepare for the rebirth that
comes with creating life.
The celestial Wolf Moon responds
glowing seeping through
the curtains—howling light.
Nothing was usual.
It was a benediction waiting
warm blue in the pool.
Finding Vezi Moon Wolf
Embraced, its star-borne energy
releases what no longer serves us.
Full Wolf Moon is also called:
January Full Moon
Freeze Moon
Cold Moon
Frost Exploding Moon
Yet, just one name fit this moment:
Vezi Moon.
Coming into a benevolent light
peaceful, anointed.
Swaddled in the colors of love.
Bestowed with more meaning
when the Wolf Moon returns.
Nothing is usual.
Suddenly, yet not instantly, greens
grow gold in the pool.
