Blood Moon

There's a blood moon in the sky tonight,

that shimmering orb of desire

No clouds to challenge its call for sin.

There's a blood moon in the sky tonight,

Still echoing the howls of need

Of that werewolf of a man, who lay with me.

There's a blood moon in the sky tonight,

A lesser sun scorching my skin

In places where your mouth has been.

There's a blood moon in the sky tonight,

Scarlet from the blood you drew from my lips

And spat into the night not long ago.

There's a blood moon in the sky tonight,

Another throbbing rust-coloured orb

A fair breast smarting from hungry hands

There's a blood moon in the sky tonight,

A stark witness in my window

Of the story of lust, writ large in red.
