Where?
never-moan moon
bells

Not sly this
damnable
light;
sifts the kernels of it,
unchaffs,
rids of dross, leaden
courier,
mercury-silvered or sun?

Who could know, not
discredited Ptolemy, the
sheer sweep, planet-plunged
night

nor any Greek, nay
Arab, not
fathomed, unplumbed measure
of it

light, brown-drossed, bent-
back trees, brow-
furrowed, bark-laced
silver-whipped,
rain-dripped
curve of it; effable
but not
easy graced

Vibrant

A mysterious capturing of a nocturnal scene.

Looked and read and read some more,

With insight hidden in the dross...

Very interesting...

from a moon moan to the, perhaps, overmodified curve the poem snapped through some intriguing images. Very good...

Typical...

...creamy beauty from this poet, the hand of the god of adjectives. Complete grace of flow!
