(mostly) short poems on life and love

a thin crescent moon

May 11, 2023 by Michael Guerin

beneath a wash of starlight
the chill night air
invigorates these bones.

my beloved’s whispered voice
echoes in my blood
and pierces the gossamer veil
between us.

a cold crescent moon
fixes her unblinking eye
on the headstone,

her pale gaze offering
no warmth or solace
as I stand rooted in place
and hopelessly far from home.
