Moon Ink
A scratch of light
marks the sky’s
western shoulder
like a night tattoo
of unfinished moon

Perfectly fashioned and felt, as ever Collen. Your work never fails to both touch and make me smile – which is no bad thing! You are an impressively sensitive writer, for sure…

Sometimes a bite-sized morsel like this is more satisfying than an entire Chinese take-out dinner! (Especially if it came from Wuhan).
