Shadow Moon

half-light, cloud-white

dark-bright,

she disappears…

 

I move quietly, a slow-

motion mime loping through

the night-garden amid

 

bromeliad-statues, tibouchina

luminescence, darkening ivy…

my roman forum

 

 

of shadow-puppet plants,

soundless composite

columns and arches
