The Crescent Moon at Midnight
Poetry prompt response

The crescent moon at midnight
is a sly smile, patient,
aware of being watched by
the eyes of so many lovers.
Ah, but the crescent at four a.m., that
is more wistful, mysterious,
shining down on the broken, the sad,
the dreamers who only dream
with open eyes focused distantly
at light made cold with the hour.
The crescent moon is the light
of the wakeful lover, the wrecked and
broken.
