When I receive the email alert, and open that email, I always put a hand over the author's name so I can just absorb the impact of the poetry. This haiku really connected, instantly.
I was delighted to see it was from one of my favourite writers too, although the poem stands on its own two feet without any need to be supported.

Terrific work, with a subtle edge.

I like the ambiguity of interpretation made possible by the jux with 'cold moon'. One of my readings is a humorous reading. :-)
