Veiling the Sun
by Meg Smith
When it was devoured
by one moon, high in the day,
I stood in the Town Common,
and looked into my hands.
Such wonders could flourish
in the simple darkness,
fleeting in its night.
Such darkness could
rise from a heart, opened
in the rush of one perfect
shadow, true, and whole.
