Boudoir in the Sky

The moon was in her boudoir last night.

The wind, her personal design assistant.

The clouds, her negligee and lingerie —

sensual silky streams grazing her

sienna glow.

The wind moving gauzy pieces in and out of view

and then, the partition

for the big reveal

as her radiant sienna takes on a citrine hue

while she rises.

As the moon ascends,

the tulle, the lace, the décolletage

float away

and she finds her place

on the stage glowing a brilliant lavender.

Leading the way home and into a dazzling lull.
