A Poem a Day (706): Moths

 
Moths
 
In the cocoon,
lair of the moth,
quiet watches the moon rise,
the shift in the cosmos,
a shaking of time.
 
Fireworks explode
this eaten-out horizon,
a drifting sand expanse untrod.
We are but blighted stars,
torn strips of gravity.
 
In the cocoon,
he watches the spaces
betwixt knowing and exempt,
as though all the light is cried out
and the ocean churns to drown.
