for Noble tranquility...

The lights have fallen
to nightbreak.
There, on the sharp horizon.
Cracked open.
Leaching
pastel peach...
(Or is it apricot?)
...into the dimming blue.

The moon,
two stars -
aligned,
in a line.

Three drops of rain;
frozen in their falling.
An overnight shower,
lasting longer than it did...

By the tiny grace
of an unseen spider;
her webwork
holding these three,
three pieces of rain -
up to the fading moonlight
as dawn conspires to interfere
with the colors she is daily born in.

The white brings blue.
The day brings night.
The night brings dew.

I long for you.
In the long days,
in the longer nights.
In the dark,
in the light.

If I’m lucky,
in my ache,
I’ll be suspended
for a moment more.
Between heaven.
Between earth.

Consumed by starlight.
Embracing dark, forestalling dawn.
Awash in moonlight.
