A CALM MOON

Last Saturday I was staying with friends in Lancaster. I awoke in the middle of the night and saw the moon. I took a photograph of the scene and was inspired to write this.

a calm moon

over the railway signals

against the darkest of blue skies

as the world turns

I give thanks 

Another short poem. I had been working on something longer but was getting bogged down because the poem wasn't working. I salvaged this.

he will leave her

two years later

for someone younger

and she will ask me why she did it

shaped herself to fit his world

and I will have no answer

I think it stands alone.
Here's a video from the legendary Annabelle Chvostek. It's wonderful to have a new video and rumour has it she has been recording recently. 

Until next time.
