Moon bit


 Moon bit

John Clare Stokes


Again I'm sitting out beneath the new sliver

Of a moon sinking

I'm not too all knowing 

So it's not too certain if you passed

Across my thoughts

Some of you did

Your impression is as acid bitten

Upon the intaglio zinc plate

Others erased number two pencil 

Marks faint but there

As the month ensues 

The moon grows larger and later

In its setting

I'll be forgetting

The moment you flashed before

My mind

And you

You shall be so bright I will wear

Sunglasses by night.
