full fall moon

abigfatcanofworms nature, Personal Reflection May 16, 2022 1 Minute

yes,  you hang
untainted by the rusting
of trees or their 
bare-fingered poking

all these days of rain
fall, falling,
fall full moon
round as possibility

a vast, bright
musical note 
in your stave 
of power lines

washed clean 
in the black glass sky
star choirs 
mute and brittle

the thickness 
of a cloud
its pinked edge 
and you are gone

just whiteness
your song of night

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary. View all posts by abigfatcanofworms

  Thanks Bob. As you can probably tell from my photo, that’s where the poem began.

    Yes, I’ve always liked the moon behind the power lines. I really liked the way you framed it.

This is splendid, in particular “bare-fingered poking” at the moon.
