Girl's Night Out
The crescent moon
Holds a pearl gray ball
With the promise
Of more splendiferous jewels to follow.
She cradles once more
Her new cycle of light
And rejoices
That her exile was brief.
I saw her last night
Lifting her darkling pearl
Towards Venus
As if to show off her renewed power.
They descended together
Toward the horizon.
I wonder
What secrets they had exchanged by midnight.
