in autumn’s dampness a moth of fervent purpose becomes another's- diamond lattice glinting before a hunter’s moon

It's always refreshing to come across shorter forms that smack you in the face with their deep meaning and eloquent craftsmanship ship - I read these 17 words 3 times and on each read to something more out of it. Congratulations
