| Young moon |
A glimpse of the infinite
is the most we are offered,
passing through,
the blade of a young moon
hung in the scarves of sunset,
animals watching us from the darkening fields,
muscle and bone in the shadows, their eyes
flaring as our lights sweep over them,
turning onto our dirt road,
gravel snapping under our tires,
coasting home to confront the night.
