Full moon fills the orchard
as the arms of the fruit-bearers
bathe in her grace,
letting go for the night
of their hardened gnarling
they open stomata
and cambial throats
and a bright choral hum
fills the Gravenstein air
with a praising so sweet
it makes waves of her light
and it tickles the wildflowers
wiggling below while they
waft their own loving
like notes for the nose,
and I find myself bending
and offering breath from the moon
in my vibrating nectar-filled chest
as we bask in the radiance
of pure reflection.
