Hold the Moon Bursting

By Elnora McNaughton

Poetry. Elnora McNaughton is a Californian who grew up in the Midwest. Her poems are infused with the colloquial, sleepy rythmns of the small Nebraska towns of her youth welded to the polished, fervent beats of the Traditional Jazz which is her passion. How do I brake this wild rush/ to the moon not end just slow the flight/ to crest to smooth flame/ that won't vanish in cinders/ How can I curb these heady/ tail winds accelerating coming/ like fiery bursts that sear/ the wings/ and lick at my body/ in this surge to the peak? (Hold the Moon Bursting)
