The Moon and the Mermaid

I had a dream that the moon was a drag queen.
The indigo sky was awash in silvery glitter.
The long tail of the slender mermaid was tumbling
through the liquid night with her long fingers
stretched out to gently touch 
the crescent face of her majesty.

Her long flowing hair could easily 
be mistaken as a wide tailed comet.
The moon took on a golden glow when 
the glittery scales of the mermaid's tail
wound around his face.
She could see the pink blush dabbed on her majesty's cheek,
and she smiled at him in all his feminine glory.

They both waited anxiously for the fireworks to begin.
They knew they would be a grand disguise for the real show,
the drag queen's parade of heavenly bodies.

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
