A Better Moon
I see you better now, shaded in deeper blue.Hardly needing to carry the find-your-way lampdown to the river.Tonight flies a better moon.Sad water buffalo lie fast near the shallows;a splash revealing the fly-catching fishes.Dark Gods silently watching.Tonight flies a better moon.I guess you've known lovers here, compliant in passion;softly laid in the old reed bed, harshlylit in the noon sun.Tonight flies a better moon.Now cloaked in this milky light, new as the virgin dawn,shrouded sweetly in all kinds of mystery,you turn, smile and then are gone.Tonight flies a better moon.
