Amaranthe Ivory Violeta works, attends UTA and learns about life through teaching her two boys. She is currently developing her first poetry chapbook. "Lunar Love" is in Short Circuit #06, Short Édition's quarterly review.

She,
a wayward rock comes flying
through the vault of heaven crashing

into you.

You are struck,
captivated by the impact,
and before you can even flicker
a piece of you

is gone.

Her,
love is an arrant thief
in the night forever,
in your orbit forever,
summoning your waves forever,

yours.
