Catherine Reef
This Evening
As the stars emerge like blisters
and a weary bird sings of searching,
I wait for the moon to rise.
The heavens turn, a bronze wheel,
and through the patina it shines,
a crescent of hammered gold.
Indifferent sky,
who knows what I am searching for,
or what I imagine anymore?
