Lunacy

I saw the moon;

an early crescent

squinting through the palm

last night

and was comforted,

because I always look

up

when things down here

don’t quite add up.

And tonight

it has processed

or regressed,

depending on your aspect.

Because although fuller

now

it is on a lower arc,

reminding me that

our potential is waiting for us.

For it will dip below the horizon

soon,

unobserved

until another night

like this,

when I will look up again
