1:25 - 2:45 am Written on screen, in this order, with few changes. 7 haikus read as one continuous poem. Something new.
3 hours post Autumnal Equinox
11:09 pm, Wed. Sept.22, 2010
3 hours pre Full Harvest Moon
5:15 am Thurs. Sept 23, 2010
First time for all 3 in one night since 1991
Not again until 2029
Reflected daylight;
Brightness in balance with night.
Equinox full Moon.
Summer’s cooling air
Becomes autumn’s waking breath.
Countless silent changes.
As we tally time,
Ten thousand seconds are lost.
Yet nothing is gained.
Such things we ponder:
Infinite time, deep space and
The Moon’s face laughing.
Jupiter drips from
Mare Tranquillitatis.
Both horizon bound.
Silently drifting
Through the patient midnight sky,
The Moon plays with time.
Fall is here once more,
An old friend with new wrinkles.
