Rumi's Moon - Marshal McKitrick

[Larry Robinson]

Rumi's Moon

After words flutter about
followed by proclamations of “Ahhh!!!”
 I step down off the back porch
into the mystery of evening
 
I stand on the bare dirt
making out moonglow
just over the roofline
there she is in her glory
for the last full moon of summer
 
And over there
the old church’s cathedral spire
is fully lit like a rocket on the launching pad
aiming for an unknown destination
that has already been reached in moonlight
 
The moon says:
There is nowhere to go
that cannot be found here
the journey and the destination
are one and the same
 
So, enjoy the fluttering
followed by “Ahhh!!!”
and savor the dark drive home

	- Marshal McKitrick
