Fib for an Eclipse

blood
red
Luna
swings across
summer's bruise-black sky
August steps out with an eclipse

At the Edge

I.

A shadow understrokes
the open window
rises, crosses glass,
hides tight against the eaves
frees the pane
for southbound sun.

II.

Shuttered eyes screen the truth
I know the end
before you mouth a word.

An Open Window prompt from Poetry Thursday

Separation Panic in August

be gone, be gone
don't flaunt your best
before you hit the road
don't try to dazzle me
season my sorrow
I know you're on your way
no matter what I say
don't tease
be gone, be gone
.
pigment's no trade
for pitch-dark nights
partial days
