Etymology of month: Old English mōnath, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch maand and German Monat, also to moon.

If you are the moon 

You will

Wax and then wane

And be gone. 

If love were the moon 

It would 

Monday to Sunday 

And be gone. 

Can (our) love be numbered by this slice of moonstone year

Which is cut into months

Quartered into weeks 

Sliced into small opal days

Where the light of the skies can come to twinkle and stay

If you are the moon

Can you,

Radiant face in the sky,

Wrapped in veil of cloud

If you are the moon 

Can you 

Part your veil

And let your hair flow?

And as your tresses and your curls descend

As serpentine brushstrokes of Night

Measuring the length between heaven and earth 

(the path of a wish)

I will toss all the clocks into the air,

So that they,

Can tangle themselves 

In the curls of your hair. 

And time can stop for a moment

An unmeasured, unbroken, uncut moment.

A very long moment.
