My kind of lunatic fringe.

The Luna Moth sees me

with her antennae and eye spots too

likewise I see her back with my sensual body

my antennae and eye spots cast and open.

Antennae -  feathered and astounding sensorial receptors

Eye spots like velvet alert snakes.

What pray tell is put before me ...

     may I know this relationship that has summoned.

My kind of lunatic fringe.

I'm into all sorts of things:

"I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world. I may not ever complete the last one, but I give myself to it." - Ranier Maria Rilke
