New, she draws out light
enlivens heaven’s starred cloth
that wraps all in dreams

As the moon moves through
Its phases from New to Full
Love renews, refills

Day 21
Four things I noticed today:
1. When walking through a cloud of midges the air is so quiet, so still, that I can hear the high pitch of their tiny whining wings. A large bee goes by with its deep familiar buzz emphasising the difference in size and tempo of wing beats between the insects.
2. Two small waterfowl racing desperately across the top of the reeds, searching for a safe haven as a sparrow hawk closes in. The first small bird threw itself into the drain with an ungainly splosh and so eluded the grasp of its swift, silent predator, who sped on without a second glance back.
3. Skylarks singing freely above the marsh. More skylarks singing than I could count. I could see none of them against the bright evening sky.
4. Out at sea a solid, flat-topped wall of grey. A fog bank running along the entire northern horizon, hiding much of the wind farm.
It was a warm again today. The moon is full tonight.

Novel
Don’t call it “Normal”
That just isn’t true
These times are strange
Loneliness
Hangs heavy as April’s Moon
Fat, heavy, moving slow
Will we meet again
Before Winter’s snows?

On the Moon
Still born from the Earth
Dusty ornamental rock
Momento mori
