Edge

      How many stories does the moonrise retail,
      Waiting for dreams to pearl-inlay the detail?
      Night's mysterium awaits
      The lute, unplucked, patient&.
5     Dark becomes a color too obvious
      To see among looking's over-crowded oblivions.
      Free dreams on an inner eyelid lie,
      Straining to detach and enter a sky.
      The dawnline's a focused loss
10    Of potential, definition scrimmed from nothingness.
      Here's an horizon razored from space,
      The finned edge of a pit or a grimacing face:
      Over the edge go dreams, lutes and dusks,
      Long shadows of an improvised mask.
