The Moon is My Lover

[A Former User]

the moon is a lesbian,
which I know because she has
kissed every inch of my body
more often than any lover
I've ever known.
I have watched the way
she kisses the ocean
and guides her gently home,
have seen her face reflected with love
in the ever-changing sparkling surface of the sea,
and I don't know any other word
to describe a love like that.
the moon is a lesbian because
she knows how to love without taking,
I have scarcely loved a man
who has learned how to love without taking,
that is not to say that no man
can love without taking,
but it is a skill that is learned
through a grief
that I have shared with every
queer woman, I have ever met.
the moon is a lesbian because
the night I stumbled out of
the apartment of the man
who only loved me when
he thought he could keep me,
blood on my lips and nowhere to go,
the moon kissed my fingertips
and she said,
"baby,
what took you so long?
welcome home."
