of breathing
skin to skin
tangled in each other’s dreams
until each night

the cobblestones tip us like drunken sailors
under a sky smeared with volcanic dust
at the bottom lies a sea
clear and pale as the skin

The November 2025 Full Moon, known as the Beaver Moon, occurs on today.
It is also a supermoon, meaning the moon will be slightly closer to Earth and appear brighter.
