Autumn moon

Full moon brought strangenesspattern’s split, old lives fell to dustexploded with the bankruptcy of yearsleft me shaking in a sallow wind You are my child, my heartnurtured and protectedscreened from secrets of the pastthat linger on street corners…..whispering. Full moon brought endingsswifter than the shine of dawnthat filters through these Autumn morningsthen fades to everlasting night. You are my child, my heartwill always stay that wayincomprehension flickers in your eyesand the dust blinds you.
