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 divine and identify
with 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
