Hunters' Moon by Marcus LaneEarth’s still-born sister
Cast-away
Aborted
Your ghostly image
Pock-marked and pale
Follows
A haloed haunting
Forever drawn
By primitive
Family ties
Shy sibling
Nightly your clouded iris
Averts our gaze
But this evening
In wonderful dilation
You stoop low
To peer
In magnificent bloodshot beauty
