(NaPoWriMo) No. 24 this dark moon night

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.
