the green face of night

the green face of night
blows through the stars
howls like a wolf at the door
though she a master of open and close
begs for coins
though she is a blessing beyond measure
asks for forgiveness
though she is healing salve
the green face of night
blows through the stars
longing eternally
for what she never lost
drinking deeply with thirst
though she is deep unguent moisture
keeps longing for herself
though her essence never left
through this act of love
the green face of night
meets herself
green night
blows through the green stars
green becomes green
