New Moon Laughing Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

The moon unquestioned
has no answers
Between light's reflection
the coming dawn

One promise chosen
to fill the darkness
One promise chosen
to calm the storm

As planets rally
the moon abandoned
The time for reason
has come and gone

They spin their orbits
and claim reentry
New eyes upon them
new axis spawned

Rotating freely
in pinball madness
Colliding passions
of night's retreat

A new moon laughing
the death of order
A new moon waiting
— as shadows sleep
