The Rejected Full Moon
Hastily I put it on, but stay on my belly of worry that the boat will sink into the sea with my weight.
Again I scream Ralph's name, but still there is no response.
I feel the lifeboat drifting further away from the yacht, high waves tossing me up, only to crash me down again. "Moon Goddess, save me!" I pray repeatedly. After what seems to be an eternity, the sea calms down and I dare to roll onto my back.
And when I look up at the sky, I see it all.
Lupercalia! It is a full moon.
Not the day of the festival, but the moon phase that reminds me of the pain in my life.
Storm Forest, rejection, Jasper!...
