Fellow Traveller
Moon decorates our days and nights
with such fickle faces
perhaps that’s why we weave our songs
and stories with facets of its face …
a face as tied to the tides of time
as our own…virile in its season …
waxing and waning with a precision
we believe does not apply to us
Buts its bald white surface near apex
only calls us liars
as it moves on
