The Last Quarter
the moon followed me home
one cloud-brindled night
laid shadows diffused
by singing planets
borrowed wings of an owl
and hastened the road
to my homing place
with keys from a maple
that I might open the door
to spectral whispers
then touch my fingers
against your eyelashes
pull tears in a rush
as you said the final words
while the moon turned full
with a long-horned kiss
