the moon
is restless
tonight
grinning down
through its socket like a sickle
over the cold dunes,
its optic nerve steady against the galaxy.
Deep in
the shadows
of causes
a man
on his haunches
tests the curve of his blade.
Eyes are everywhere,
socket safe for this only time.

Hi Ray, I enjoyed this, my favourite lines are 'through its socket like a sickle', and the first sentence of the second verse, thanks x
I like this, Ray - a restless moon that grins down steady against the galaxy. Good descriptions.

Thanks Lynn and Lea for your appreciation . Lucky for me a curved blade has a rather sinister feel to it (in the wrong hands).
Wolfie: Thanks for investing this with your imaginative perception. I feel I needed to let it breathe and invite the mind in. Space is obviously a great medium for any appreciation of contemplation .
Cheers all.
