Moon Haiku
this moon
the first of all moons
indigo sky
just one skeleton
tree could shatter it
Mourning Moon
the fawn bones the cold moon
on the road
a stray tomcat yowling
through waning moonlight
this skull
under my skin
Leaflitter Moon
the moon after a cabbage white breaks in the scent of lightning
deepening indigo the moon takes shape
Bowstring Moon
the cry of a white-tail
echoes once
evening moon
deeper into the scent
of insects’ voice
slate sky
the-all-at-once-but-not-enough of the streetlight moon
