HALVMANE

HALVMANE 


mind eyes gazing sky

In dreams immeasurable

endless paradox


while crescent is lost, a hidden moon

o minstrel, o fool and o vagabond bound

for it is not a king's boon


waning and waxing 

lunar hare strides in motion

look! a rivulet 


lo' said the fool almost a sage, "a bonny!"

minstrel nods, vagabond retires

in visage he held the conny 


the hare saw the moon

on the sheet of watercourse

wish no sun appear
