Thank you all. The work is influenced by the novel Sassafras, cypress & Indigo by Ntozake Shange, which I recently read for my book club. If you enjoy magical realism, mysticism and figurative language or appreciate women's literature I recommend this work.

Susan,
I love this idea. It's a wonderful turn on the ancient image of swallowing the moon. God bless.

That's lovely. Didn't know where it was going but I liked where I ended up.
The image here is so strong, especially the moondust...
Clever use of moon dust! Nice 'ku...
So sensuous and full!
very simple. nicely written.
What a great image! The moon falling from my mouth... Wow! On that note, time for sleep. Maybe I'll have a cool dream.

i admire that last line. Yes, full of the senses...
Oooh, dream-like. I really like it.
Fascinating image. I am unfamiliar with the ancient idea of swallowing the moon. I'm googling to learn more.
This is so touching and reflective.
Great work here. Very original and unique!
