On a Cloudy Night [#fullmoonsocial]

On a Cloudy Night

It’s the face silence makes
of us. The wonder of what

has happened, kept
in a glass case of mind

for clarity on nights
when clouds are a low

growl in the future’s throat.
Doesn’t matter what clears

or drifts or can’t fit in when’s frame.
Every where I look I see our moon.
