smiling evening moon

scything through cloud and chasing

the sun into bed

Still, hot, summer night.

Half moon hangs in the sky, while

sweat drips from my brow.

Clouds wrap around her,

retina around pupil;

Full moon eye sees all.

Warm summer evening,

radiant full moon reflects.

Wonder what she thinks?

Jet stream cloud emboss'd

Across the moonlit sky. Haze

draped stars a twinkle.
