Petunia Moon

 

The long light of this wide morning

creates sharp shadows on the grass.

Until afternoon clouds grow into gray sheets

when shadow edges blur and disappear.

The faint breath of a warm breeze

waggles summer Petunias on the deck.

Then the sun will drop to end this day,

but the horizon light will linger longer.

And a new crescent moon 

will rise into the night.
