What shows
how little
we know?
What can be is
oft far less than
what we expect.
What is now
has never been
what it was.

Full moon of the other night;
last night or
the one before,
almost full tonight.
Little differences day by day,
incremental changes
shift our way.
When suddenly the perfect sphere
suffers a dent, or a bite.
Another phase for which
they do not name,
a Crescent Moon will often change
until nothing is there, save
a New Moon, which you don’t see
anyway,
but you will see it soon.
We mark our days
by the light of the moon,
which, realistically, generates none,
relying instead on far-reaching Sun.
Another topic any way,
one to be explored
by the light of day.
