Moon Shadow

Mystical ghost of night Of pale death’s milky glow On sun’s life, contingent Neon-gray you sketch black Soothe the belligerent Mystical ghost of night How you shine subterfuge! As the captious eye sees, dead dreams behoove none Opal wanes on jet seas... Mystical ghost of night Wax with light-avarice! Mock shadowed reflections, oft morphing as your form, on nightshade convictions... Mystical ghost of night New moon’s temerity Sacrosanct nothingness How you foreshadow Earth as fried out emptiness (9/17/2021: '85 Bluewater 51 Willow Berm. Was titled Mystical for M contest by Constance la France)
