Jane Candia Coleman
(For Ansel Adams)
-
It is not night yet
but we stand waiting
for the moon to come
for the first thin slice
to deepen dark places.Its quick leap
its sudden light
do nothing to dispel
our solitude.
There are needs in us
for which we have only silence.If someone would photograph
this moonrise
we would show in the foreground,
head stones, sorrowing,
side by side.
