crystalline melon

     sliced into half by sky’s plate…

         a breakable moon

Awesome imagery, Nette. Was it for any contest or just inspired by what you saw recently out your window? Tonight they say soutern Utah will be best place to see the sun and moon pass in front of each other! Wish I could see it down there too.
