Mysterium Lunae
Last night
I saw that the moon
Was empty in the sky.The stars around did
What they do.
They areMillions of miles
Away,
Or millions of years,And are totally exhausted.
But the moon is blank,
Just a space to show Where it might have
Been. We will tell
Whoever will attendThat the moon used to catch
Light from the sun
And waxed and waned:Full, sickle, half-
Moon.
