Lunar Landscape

I could visit Noguchi’s moon:
South Beach mood lighting,
a crater for good measure,
and fishing bobbers
dangling childhood memories
just above the surface.

#NaPoWriMo, Day 4. (Isamu Noguchi’s “Lunar Landscape”)

How many full moons

How many full moons

did I miss before I realized

that life is so brief?

Hic sunt dracones

  

Apollo 15 lunar rover

  

Intrepid

  

Setting Moon

  

But they never returned.

  

the novelty wore off

“Earth rais’d up her head”

  
“Earth rais’d up her head,

From the darkness dread & drear.”

from William Blake, “Earth’s Answer”
