Isolated Moon

(from the moon series)

does not exist. For there are no eyes
to witness. There is no planet to orbit.

There is no starlight to reflect.

There is no point of reference outside
itself to unmoon. Thus, beside the universe
there is nothing else. No chairs
or tables to consider. No asteroid belt.

A vacancy surrounds. Slowly wraps
itself around. Slowly erases existence.
Slowly hums soundlessly.
Slowly permeates the void.

Slowly.

    I like this one. You clearly evoke the emptiness of isolation where time may or may not exist. This is a black hole just outside ourselves.
