this dark moon night
reminds me i haven’t returned
a particular call.
that goddess
at the crossroads has been patient
for years
with a kindness thick
as honey,
piled on top of the fierce,
waiting for my answer.
she knows i’m afraid
of all she knows,
says she has all the time
in the worlds
for a child like me.
