Aura Moon Double Haiku
An appearance.
Things are rarely what they seem.
Masks conceal faces.
The moon winks and nods,
Tugging at the aching heart.
“Take a second look.“
The aura of the back light at night. Wires that carry electricity to the house. A sliver moon. A photographer playing with the elements. What began as a spontaneous chase to capture the waning moon became a rolling series of discoveries: “Look what happens when the light is on!”
“I want to shoot the moon through the wires,” she said, aiming her camera.
“A good first line for a novel or a play,” I thought.
Character One: I want to shoot the moon through the wires.
Character Two: Maybe we should talk about it? (no answer) Do you think we’ll hear the owl tonight?
And so it goes, listening and looking into the night. The story progresses until their desires meet at a distant crossroads.
