Lunar Trinity Poem by Suzanne Hayasaki

Lunar Trinity



In another land I stand alone
At the edge of an endless sea.
I gaze up at the bright night sky
And wonder if you are looking back at me.

As was foretold in another world
In another day in an alien language,
The three major moons have aligned
Gravity is shifting, tides are twisting.

Soon the wormhole will reappear
Ripping open a new seam in time.
I intend to ride it back to you
And the life I once knew.

It was twenty years ago today
That you and I walked hand in hand
On a white sand beach in a distant land
Where dogs frolicked and women tanned.

Twenty long years have passed
Since I last heard a human voice
Or saw a wagging tail or a smiling face
Or watched one sun set in the west.

I have been stranded on some unknown planet
Where the native plants tower and creep like vines.
They grace me with their shade and feed me.
They have sustained my life but not my mind.

I have meditated.
I have sung.
I have built castles in the sand.
I have imagined the face of God.

I have kept count of the days.
I have kept note of the ways
I have eked out my survival
On this beautiful botanical planet.

I have gathered bouquets for you
Of flowers you have never seen
Which bloom here in such profusion
Their perfume gives me hallucinations.

I have set them on this stone.
I now stand on a floral altar
Waiting for the sky to storm
And a vortex to form
To carry me to you
Or Death.
