Moon

Katrina Kaye

even the moon
cracks              with time

her radiation                limited
to the turquoise of space

so how can we

divine creatures
of mortal world

not expect our
beauty to drip

sky to branch

branch to leaf

leaf to earth

from us

This poem was inspired by the artwork, “Enchanted Moon” created by Paulina Lopez, displayed at StrangeFlock Gallery May 2019.

“Moon” is previously published on the Gold Writing Group website (2019).
