August 29, 2012 (I was 67)
Blue
Moon Presentiment
The month stretches long
enough
and the moon speeds fast
enough
to reflect its full face
twice
and to illuminate an
unscheduled wisdom
It’s the kind of game we
attach to anomalies
in hope they will portend a
significance
we can identify and divine
to an authority greater
than our own
I’m pagan enough to tend to
ritual
shamanistic enough to count
the nights
til under its light I will rattle
awareness and look
in successive moments of
quiet respiration
