Clovonius

A Poem by Cass Ashe
"

A short tale of the moon and the stars.

"
A tale told of the stitcher Clovonius,
Who betroth'd the moon and the stars for us.
When a heated brawl with the midnight bull
Who was untimely born and muscle full
Stripped the bride the day she sought to wed
And gored the new groom bloody in their bed.
Clovonius saw the lovers' end not so,
For her love was woven a sky bed bright
Showing her face to the world ev'ry night,
Longing for her lover's look in deep woe
Turning her bright eyes thirty days each glow.
The groom he spread around in night's dark sky,
His million eyes dripping dew as for why
He cannot see his bride in the darkness
When they are in so close as to caress.
So he vowed to run 'round the world each day
In the vast expanse his gaze outward lay,
While she searches the Earth in days seven,
Never to meet for he ventures in heaven.
The pearl of night and her fragmented groom,
By Clovonius bound in a lonely doom.

An interesting, thought-provoking tale, that was dark and creepy. Not your typical all things nice to do with moon and stars. Loved it.
