Ink black night sky.
The moon on the 14th night.
Hira said that it wasn't
a full moon.
Isn't that strange?
How can it be true?
The part of it
that is cut away,
doesn't it mimic
a full moon
so beautifully?
The glass of whiskey
on your desk,
the shape of your mouth
decorating the rim.
A pretty crescent moon.
Does all things in life
mirror the moon?
Desperately.
Enough so,
even the moon
performs itself.
To look alike,
but isn't actually.
Looks like your mouth,
but couldn't be.
I know it too well.
In the way I can tell
the difference
between the full moon
and the moon on the 14th.
Especially in an
ink black night sky.
