there was blood on that beach

did you see it leak into the ocean?

the moon witnessed it all

the moon knows all the secrets

she watched me run

my arms wide

my legs like wings

carrying me through waters and darkness and moon-light

and the love

women-love

my two loves were with me

dancing the dance of gratitude and joy with my body


you must have seen the blood there

the ocean swept it up into itself

you must have seen it

the moon witnessed it all

one day it will

it will

split open and that blood will cover it all
even the ocean

will

turn

red
