Unsettled Past Perigee


 

We missed the Supermoon

the last of its kind for awhile

full and close to the earth

but we felt its effects

in our own ebb and flow

moon of lost footing

moon of imbalance

moon of the drought and the fires

moon of alternative truth

moon of haunted dreams

moon of the dwindling light

moon of the gathering tribes

moon of the mope and the gloat

moon of the lengthening night

moon of the shadows on snow

moon of this life while we have it

moon of the uses of consciousness

moon of our counting

moon of our sums and remainders

moon of what's here

moon of our faith in our neighbors

moon of the owls in the dark

moon of the wind in the hemlocks

moon of the sweet constant music

moon of our more than enough.
