Night Secret - Published by: Leaves of Ink

Night Secret


night-blooming cacti 

wake in the dark

when people slumber

in muffled shadows 


full buds inflate

bracts burst 

perfume gusts

blooms unfold


fifty moon globes 

fruit born of shade

hover on leaves

stretch in the moonlight


many-armed 

white shivas

stroke the darkness

of summer 


at first light

moonflower bounty

night magic 

silently slips away
