Blue Moon

Blue Moon

The second moon

emerged from behind a cloud

outside our kitchen window.

Bleached luminous dust.


There are holes you say

in a black heart

gaming a backdrop of stars.

We followed it with our eyes.


Weeks later 

all that was left was a sliver.


From a large white ball

grazing that warm summer night

we tell ourselves our emotions

were unattached.

And yet, were they?
