quasi-moon

quasi-romance
I suppose
to look on it from Earth

a companion
for
Artemis
love and hunting

in
need of a new horizon from which
to search the sky maybe with
a plan to take the new step
now
and for a while

so to
rescue the Pleaides
from Orion

then perchance to dance
together
freed in a midnight’s new quasi-lunar
glowing
