Night launch (Apollo 17)

Timocharis Crater

Morning Moon

Morning Moon:
a phantom hiding
in the clouds.

“Behold the great rondure…”

“Behold the great rondure, the cohesion of all, how perfect!”

from Walt Whitman’s “Out of the Rolling Ocean the Crowd”

Bay of Rainbows

There’s so much to see,
but my eye keeps catching on
the one bright rainbow.

some day we will walk there, too

Believe me, ladies
some day we will walk there, too:
it’s not if but when.

Numinous

A patch of the Moon
flanked by shadows: trembling sense
we shouldn’t be here.
