Luna

full moon sunrise-
a thin spiderweb of clouds
spun across the sky
–
brightening skies-
the morning moon
greets the sun

silvery fingers-
the moon I plucked from the sky
safe in my pocket
–
crescent moon-
silver fish swim
among the stars

mid september moon
shines behind indigo clouds
circled in silver
–
blushing-
the harvest moon
kissed by the sun

the full predawn moon
resting above the changing
autumn canopy
–
evening chill-
the moon dressed
in alabaster

a ring tailed hawk watching
the curve of the crescent moon
emerge from the mist
–
the full moon
silhouetted
against the night

a slice of the night
carved out of a starless sky
gleaming, motionless
–
chaff in the wind
burnished brass
low on the horizon

on the horizon
a perfect amber orb rests
motionless in space
–
molten silver
seeps through
barren branches

in the full moon’s light
a desert scorpion glows
an unearthly blue
–
silver
illumination
of midnight

Weightless in the sky
The rim of a silver cup
Spilling out the night
