Make Taut And Pluck by Philip F De Pinto
look! the moon is born
the moon which is just a dot
a dot which touches not
the meticulous lawn
and pale gown
you are as yet to own
once like that moon
you were just a dot
a point I could counter
or miss along
the dotted way of you
once you were points
I drew lines to
and away from
some were lines of no return
now like that moon
you are a dot
far from being born
a dot cloistered in a cloud
or in a shroud
a point I've yet to ponder
to draw lines to
and away from
some leave loose and limp
some make taut and pluck
