What to tell the full moon
that's once again escaped
our shadow? What to tell
the sun that never cared?
That this has been a month
of loss, turmoil, soul-searching,
investigating hope,
adjusting inner life
to outer gravitation,
relief at having projects
and friends who know this business-
the business of creating
that has no business but
to propagate creation.
