Thabang Ngoma Poet Rhyme

Two Moons

'No?!'
They thought
Hopeless romantics!
A full moon
Then another?
Their glow ever brighter
Never receding
Two moons low on the horizon
One sinking
The other imitating

On a clear African night sky
The landscape takes a strange form
The mountain peaks and morphs
Two moons revolve around the campfire
Flaring like shooting stars
Celestial twins on a merry-go-round
Occasionally disappearing behind the shifting mountain
Only to reappear behind a boulder
One leading the way
The other on its shoulder
Almost racing, but never colliding
Then a sudden stop
They glow even brighter
Closer and closer
Threatening to outshine the campfire
Blinding our curiosity

The fire succumbs
To the moons' strange weather
And the roar like thunder
Finally, surrounded by mist
Rising
A total eclipse
Our minds blank
Our hearts sank
The two moons...

Blink!
