A sort of "Thankyou" poem

[fridayam]

I'm still too deep in work to respond properly to all the intriguing suggestions elicited by my "Poem Sequence" thread, but this happened to me last week, and I had to write it down. Please accept it as a sort of thank you.

Moon

Through a badly-drawn curtain
via the mirrored wardrobe
the Moon sought me as I slept,
a gibbous ghost pursuing me
as my head inched, perturbed,
along my ghostly pillow
until I met my wife--
dead to the world--and woke,
an escapee caught in a searchlight
of immense power so close
I could see it move,
80 billion tons of rock at speed,
sunlit in my night.

You are most welcome for the feedback, and I'm glad (as you know) that you've decided to stick around. This new poem is lovely, and I can't be more specific than that because we're still getting settled in the new house and my brain is operating about as brilliantly as Swiss cheese at the moment.

But I'll be back.

quite evocative, lovely, terrifying and haunting all at the same time. i always, always, find your work moving.
