1.
Someone wrought
the silver sliver
of the moon
and hung it to shine
in the darkness
of the night.
2.
Moonless, the night
is darker than the darkest
black—absolute absence
of the light.
3.
The full moon’s shine
lights the paper
pallid white
on the drawing pad.
4.
Isn’t the full moon
the powder box’s mirror
of the sun?
5.
Does anybody knows
where the moon is
tonight?
