The Moon<\/h2>\n

by Natalie Crick<\/p>\n

Schools of moths descend,
\nPulled in by waves of light when<\/p>\n

The fields begin to steam like horses
\nIn the cool<\/p>\n

Like the hush of rainfall
\nAfter the sun\u2019s marriage to the skies.<\/p>\n

From his window, the child can see;
\nThe young moon sulking behind the sun,<\/p>\n

Disappearing beneath the moors
\nWith a final sweep of chill.<\/p>\n

An actress on stage
\nApplauded by the throng<\/p>\n

One last time,
\nOnly to return again next night<\/p>\n

From where it grows to fullness,
\nA round milky globe
\nAsking the question:
\nWho will admire me next?<\/p>\n
