Expanding and Contracting

Expanding and contracting
Always curved except
In that one moment
On either side of full
And empty
Sickle, cheese ball,
Jumping silver fish
Boiling my blood in the waxing gibbous
Soothing my mind in the empty newness
There's a moon in the sky called the moon
Or Luna, or harvest, or
Great Blue Heron
See!
Call it what you like
It circles round forever

Moon-2019-07-07-1

I'd eaten so many salt & vinegar potato chips that the roof of my mouth & my gums & lips were stinging, but that's how I stay awake on long car trips. Eating keeps me awake, & only the most addictive gas station delicacies will do. So I was fighting off sleep on the way up the mountain on these ridiculously curvy roads — I barely made it out of 2nd gear for 50 miles — & there in a break in the trees I caught sight of the moon behind a thin illuminated screen of clouds — those cold high altitude clouds you get in the winter — & it just hit me. This is the same damn moon that Julius Caesar & Cleopatra & Buster Keaton stared at. I'm practically famous just in the presence of it. — Barry Wilder

Prayers for the Ghost City by David Wilk Sentient beings depart earth in the grey dawn, homeless doves seek shelter. The moon shudders, a dark balloon in space. What is left behind cannot be saved. We are passengers on a lost journey to a new home. What remains behind cannot be forgotten. Long lost songs in the dirt filled air. Say your prayers for the ghosts and elders. https://tinyletter.com/DavidWilk/archive

Eternal Journey of Graceful Change (moon-2021-03-06-01)

The moon is an amazing combination of predictability, consistency, change, wonder, hope and beauty all rolled into one. In a world of chaos and uncertainty the moon continues its eternal journey of graceful change that has the power to calm even the most inpatient heart and soothe the anxious soul.
