Winter Moon

Michael Keshigian: Winter Moon

WINTER MOON

by Michael Keshigian

Lonely wanderer

casts vague frosty glances

through the window

of my room

and enlivens pristine icicles

weighing on trees and wires

to reflect an indifferent

detached smile

which glows amid the black cloudless sky.

If I were to darken my attire

and wear an ashen shirt

which resembles your face

could I follow your icy path

and meander beyond the confines of being?

Between the wormholes

and black tunnels of question?

Become more wise than foolish?

Then vanish from sight

with realization

at daylight’s peek?
