Joyce Parkes
Said the Moon
Water in streams and creeks
touch the feet of a bridge, where
there is one, the earth below
the water, the banks on either
side of what is considered as
a divide or a link, depending on
the water's mien, for images
could be friend or foe — going
for a bowl of soup with shallots
or a scoop of this evening;
enticing her heart to think. So
she said to the clouds in transit.
