That full moon
like a brass button
studding the night,
implying perforation,
adeherence, closure.
In some places
it was occluded,
tarnished–
but we couldn’t see it
from where we sat,
adrift in a deep night
that fell like a curtain.
For every word
a third unspoken.
That full, full moon
and the Earth’s shadow
encroaching. The very
papable weight
of nothing.
This is stunning. My favourite line is: “adrift in a deep night, that fell like a curtain”. So lovely 🙂

Your words are wonderful as always.
I know you don’t post every single day, but have you thought of Doing the Tupelo 30/30 challenge? I ask out of selfish reasons, as I want and uninterrupted flow of your poems.

If I may, could I ask you to give me some honest feedback on some of my posts? I am attempting to get back into writing, and I am still learning my way around this blogging adventure
