Yesterday

New York at night Vivienne Gucwa

I saw 2 sides
of the solitary moon
simultaneously

the bright part
svelte & stubborn
has been covered
by transparent quilt
of second one…

I wondered then
how is your prow
never fits wholly
its own harbor,
grasps mine…

  5. X-ray vision that poetically allows you see the backside etched within the transparency of the front, both side now as Carole King sang about, & Joni Mitchell. Abstract, yet intimate; very nice.

  21. The first two stanzas capture the moon I saw coming home from work on January 3rd--a waxing crescent moon. the crescent so bright that you could see the rest of the moon sitting there, huge on the horizon. Like one moon covered by another, darker one. I am not quite sure of your 3rd stanza, for me it was rather abstract and hard to decipher. All in all though, a lovely thought captured.
