Perfect Round Moon
Perfect Round Moon
Full Moon April 16, 2022
Sitting alone
by a small fire
outside—
white smoke
piles up, turns
evaporates
as tinder greens
orange flame.
Lonely
in a world
& a life
inseparable
from encircling
intimacy.
Outside
with my love—
a wound
of compassion
cherished
for how unerring
it returns me
to earth
& this sitting
upon unspeakably
gentle truth.
Welcome
as you are.
A fire
air
fuel
smoke
& a witness—
there is no
more perfect
round
than this
simple moon.
Go see
for yourself.
