Poem Beginning with Doubt



Doubt

As manifest night

As the temperature dropped

'Til the misshapen moon

Three days from full

Escaped from the black

Cage of the trees

And we took it to be

A vague prophecy

And we took it to be

First light

Sudden and brief

Ourselves

Sudden and brief

Ourselves

At the edge of freezing

Ourselves

At the edge of flight.
