The Scented Night

in the silence
of the scented night
of fun
i eat the moon
savouring her goodness
before dawn
i pacify
the restless neutrinos
(the tiny sub-atomic particles)
in my orbit
as i feast
on the inner secrets
of the
universe
armed with a dream
i weave
the narrative
thread
of reason and happiness
in the
fecund garden of life
this
sweetest moment
