When You Return
By
Radiance Angelina Petro
The moon conducts the orchestra of the waves.
Scales of fish contain petals of the sun.
Moths slip the gravity of their longing, and their wings catch fire.
Wind lifts and spins leaves in the corners of abandoned schools.
The child finger-paints a perfect circle.
Deer move together, leaving no hoof prints in the grass.
All creation wheels around the sun of its desire.
When you return to your Beloved, he will come to you, dancing.
