Watching

The ancient slivered 
   white moon piece 
   hangs   webbed,
Quite entangled
   in the unyielding   wintering 
   of maple's   stark branching.

As watch   watching   does he watch,
   that thin silvered   white moon crescent,
   seeing all from   his high perch,

His ancient partner,
the weary   beleaguered planet
   Earth, slow-roasting
     from green
     to tan
     to brown,
Barbequed   by fellow   traveler,
   the well-respected 
   Mr. Sun.
