Sister moon
Almost at term
Hung heavy in the sky
Straining against
Crescent shadow sliver
Preventing completion
Fullness denied
Caught in phase
I long for her words
Sing to me
Soothe me
Storm clouds spent
Exist only
To absorb golden glimmer
Of an absent sun
Caught in phase
Slicing surface of a placid pond
Held
Slack tide
Mimicking motion
Of dancing diminutive waves
When inspection
Reflect a stagnant moment
Of an aimless waltz
Caught in phase
Pair of geese
One preens
Other
Burrows by bed
Of reeds
Finding no nourishment
Caught in phase
Distant nutria
Dives down
As child throwing crumbs of bread
Causing concentric circles
Forever reaching out
In deafening silence
I wait
I know
That
Caught in phase
Is fast fleeting
