Exposed
Paul Simon said that one man’s ceiling is another man’s floor. Whose floor is the sky? Does it open at night to spill the dance of the stars, the sailing of the moon, into our earth-bound feet?
Moving toward eclipse–
double reckoning of light
bearing winter’s tides.
My windows become eyes to let the nightshine in.
Could I resist the dVerse winter moon haibun prompt?
This was my best photo of the first New Year’s Moon (that’s a rubber band that was on the floor…how did that happen?).

That question is indeed one worth asking… if there’s an end to sky at all?

And how would we mark it?

the camera can illuminate things we almost imagined. “My windows become eyes to let the nightshine in.” is brilliant!

I love the last line in this. So true! The square of light looks to me to be an sort of tv image. A rubber band! Who would have thought it?

Thanks! It does look like an old TV. One wonderful thing about the rubber band is that I didn’t notice it until I downloaded the photo. The universe at work…
