Fathers and daughters. More moon. And, another favorite, nightmares.

from Under the Maud Moon / by Galway Kinnell

And then
you shall open
this book, even if it is the book of nightmares.

DPF / Strand

Moons make me think of Sylvia; but, since Sylvia’s had her turn for a time, here is one of Strand’s moons today.


from
The Prediction / by Mark Strand

That night, the moon drifted over the pond,
turning the water to milk, and under
the boughs of the trees, the blue trees,
a young woman walked, and for an instant

the future came to her

DPF / Steele

For my west-coast English-comp professor, one who teaches us, in many ways, to remember to love form, and an Angelino with warm memories of Vermont’s frozen embankments.  

from Joseph / by Timothy Steele

Vague winds cross, streamingly, its face,
Remote and icy and antique,
And to its light I whisper, Speak.
