    I love haiku that could act as an opening sentence to a short story or a novel. This is incredibly atmospheric and makes me think of multiple streams of storylines.

    Wonderful!

  3. This is gorgeous, deserving of many rereads. It got me thinking about how, like the moon, we are always whole, yet at different times in life through illness and or ageing also partly in shadow … Love it.
