What must I reap now?
The full moon rises tonight.
Tomorrow I’ll work.
*
They swim in the dark;
the full moon peeks between leaves.
Her breast’s still damp.
*
A full harvest moon:
In my youth, I danced all night;
too tired to look now.
*
A full moon rises.
So many have passed before:
What time is it now?
*
What? A new full moon?
They were brighter in my day;
I must rest my eyes.
