Moon (Earth)

Richard Chattaway.

Moon (Earth)

Moon (Earth),

A button on dark linen;

Bracing, and bright.

A distant, dreamy,

Lucid light.

Moon (Earth),

Lunar dichotomy;

Mans destination point?

Temptations twist further

Out-of-joint.

Moon (Earth),

Mother-of-pearl;

Void of velvet-ink.

Time elapses eventual,

Dead-weight darkness sinks.

Moon (Earth),

Water? Life?

Science surly demands!

Whilst clutching the clouded crystal

With heedless hands.

Moon (Earth) -

Natures pinnacle.

Moon (Earth) -

Mans shoestring syllable.
