blood orange moon, a poem

Blood oranges 
stained the staid
scraps of the woman's
whimsical white
dreams gone wrong.

Whispering fears
fending off
crushing waves
pounding the pavement
walking walking
watching without
so much as a
vapored breath escaping
a singularity of a
drop
of a stained hope
stopped.

Poppy drops bleed
a sea of
petal moments
spread
on sacred
hallowed grounds
untouched by
human hand.

Moon-wise beams
show shadow designed
messages
meaningless
to all but the
moon.
