impossible orb
bewildered
are you divining
the moon? Lunatic
they call you
celestial tricks

on the verge
forever pending

A lune poem from 2016 for tonight’s full moon.

…and continuing the year’s end of fools. My collage is also a Fool Tarot Card, Zero. Where we need to start for 2021.
On the verge forever pending is a good description of the year for many people. I like your collage, too.

Thanks Merril. That’s exactly what the year has been like.

Merril said it first—that was my favourite line, and the ‘impossible orb’. The moon is mad in the sense of being unpredictable to ordinary folk.

Thanks Jane. I wonder how the moon first became associated with madness. I could look it up…

Probably because of women, Maenads etc.

but I bet it has to do with the cycles of women and the moon…

Ah yes, undoubtedly. Can’t trust a woman, and a menstruating woman even less.

I did look it up and that’s one of the theories. The most likely answer I’d say.

If there’s a villain or a scapegoat needed, look for a woman.

I like the tarot image – this feeling of being on the verge is very much with me too. I am totally bewiodered.

Thanks Suzanne, I think we all are. It’s a state of being that is receptive though I think.

That’s true. There is something about these times that is taking us out of our usual modes of thinking.

“forever pending” is a good description of madness or impotence. Good depiction of lunacy in your collage. Now that the holiday hoopla is about done, time to pull out the collage stuff again.

Thanks Jade. I find collage always intense, yet somehow soothing. Looking forward to what you do!
