November

November 11th 2023

I lay beneath a November

sky, trickling with rain; clouds

covering the craters of the moon.

Where are you, moon?

I question of the night,

Where are your stars?

A sudden breeze arrives

as a reminder of its presence;

a breath upon my skin.

I am not afraid of the abyss,

I remind the unseen moon,

and I will wait for your return.
