The dogs, their necessary function now fulfilled over the tree line, were sent to bed, as was I, almost, when impulse pulled a sweater back across my head and drove me out again to the front lawn re-examining the disappointing mirk; there to catch, sailing clear beyond a ragged gap, Luna herself--night's queen--serene as always, but absent here a shadowed, semi-circle slice which, even as I watched, grew wider.

Hot Stuff Slowly, low in its descent, the moon Gathered in the heat from the grass fires, The high ones, above the tree line, then As it dipped again before dawn, it smouldered With the long story it had heard before, The roar of crescent inland and along the coast, --Miles from here, admittedly, but blazing, The wind its own news, storming the moon.
