Moon from my living room

Anything can happen on a full moon night. Anything. Last full moon my fridge and almost every other household appliance died. Last full moon I was filled with want. Last full moon was a Cancer full moon, and the moon rules Cancer.

I am a Cancer. Full moons have always ruled my life. Last full moon I wished that I was a Vampire. Last full moon my wish and my want might have been a reality.

Who knows what happens after midnight in a full moon in Cancer in Manhattan?

Somehow after the sun comes out I find myself at the river looking at New Jersey. We think Vampires have been banned from the new New Jersey skyline. However, some people wonder what the mark is on their neck. How can I be out in the sun? Did I say that I’m a Vampire? Maybe, maybe not. Or maybe a new breed has embarked upon the Hudson.

We who worship the Cancer full moon in Manhattan just might know the answer.

Then we find ourselves at a magical building off Fifth Avenue in the 60’s where I lived in a previous life.
We don’t talk about what goes on there, all day all night for over a century. It’s enchanted, sacred and only Cancers who witnessed the full moon from the building I live in now are allowed to partake in the ceremony.

What ceremony? Someday if you don’t find yourself in Jersey, somebody might tell you about the secret door that leads into another part of the building. Maybe.

But only if you know what the magic balls mean. Few, few people do.

Happy Friday. I will probably post again sometime next week, from a world far from here. Please understand if I don’t make it to your blog. Have to prepare for another moon. It’s really not easy being a Full Moon Goddess or Vampire or whatever I am.
Then again I might post tomorrow.

I was in a writing class with Stephanie Klein and am very excited about her book Straight up & Dirty, being released.. Before I knew any bloggers, I saw the button for BE on her blog. Had no idea what a button or BE was, but boy was I going to learn.

Wow, Stephanie has paved the way for bloggers. Think that’s amazing. She also paved the way for taking a respite from Manhattan, something that I totally understandl

    The moon is full
    on a summer night
    spectral beams
    reflected bright
    deep in shadows
    whispered delight
    dancing shapes
    celebration so right

    Have a great time Pia

    The full moon in Cancer – very magical. It is why I feel a slight change in mood on July 23rd – almost as if I can feel no more kills until the following June (different rules in Queens as you may recall).

    Hmm… this complicates things. I was going to start a franchise of vampire huntinng agencies in every major city. Of course, my intent was to target the mopey teenage goth “vampires” but I have no doubt that there would be confusion. Dammit.

    I’m a sucker for old vampire movies.

    The moon is so much better than the sun.

    I feel like such a primitive native as I say that.

    I’m been spending this week on a lake and communing in when I have to, last night, right after sunset, I was out on the lake in my canoe and couldn’t keep my eyes of a “new moon” that was bright and just above the western horizon.

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
