What ritual words should I offer to the absent moon’s shadow? A love potion that merges opposite energies into absolute stillness? A howl that resets the journey and flushes away the dark tides with glittering waves of stars?
what
is not
fills to overflowing
A quadrille about the new moon for dVerse , hosted by Mish, and Frank Tassone’s #Haikai Challenge.

That’s beautiful, Kerfe–words and art. I think we all long for this: “A howl that resets the journey and flushes away the dark tides with glittering waves of stars?”

Thanks Merril. I do think we all would like a little howl. Funny, Claudia had a poem about howling today too.(although hers was much less serious)

At least I was in spam, Kerfe – some comments on my posts have been going directly to trash, and I’ve heard about people not able to comment at all! I haven’t changed anything, so it must be Akismet.

Yes, that happens to me too, from both sides. We just have to work around it as best we can.
