The Cold Moon
Tonight’s the last full moon of 2012 and it’s called the Cold Moon, appropriately so. It’s not cold yet, but it’s going to get cold, dropping twenty degrees in the next few hours.
Cold Moon
Each month I show you the same face,
and you call me a different name.
Now you call me Cold Moon,
but I am always cold.
You call me Long Night Moon,
but my nights are always long,
bright on one side, dark the other.
I am the same, always, and you
make of me what you desire. Magical,
monstrous, indifferent, muse.
I pull at your blood, and you
deny me. We yearn for one
another, stone of my stone, fire
of my fire, night of my night.
