the moon is near
the planet is far
but not as far
as the glistening star
a misty nimbus
surrounds the orange moon
as solid as glass
a strange fog crept in
faraway trees are sky bound
turned into half tones
it's somewhat touching
church bells muffled by rain
ring the wrong number
wan november sun
over the intersection
hawk on a cable
when I'm in chapel
it's like being by the sea
only it's more vast
deep fall 2012
