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.
07/25/2024 j.g.l.
The night
accepts the silence,
appreciates
the soft, steady breath
of lovers
and dogs.
New Moon
shows as no moon can.
High resolution
darkness softening
hard edges
and difficult lives.
Here we are,
part of the silence,
immune to
time and temperature,
and words
once spoken.
