Queries to the Moon
Posing queries to the moon
in algorithmic poetry,
while finding measured points on a map
comparing distance in mind and minute
to addresses posted as equations
as we squint with new-moon pupils
at crescent key unlocking the sky,
awaiting its fullness.
This week’s prompting word is symbol. My sense of time, place and passing is all carried symbolically by the moon.
comparing distance in mind and minute TO ADDRESSES POSTED AS EQUATIONS” This is the breathtaking power of poetry!

Glad to hear! You reminded me to read it again (posted on your blog). Isn’t it a surprise sometimes to read something we’ve written and wonder “how”?!
