Cold moon

by Chris Hopkins / November 27th, 2016

And there,
hung the moon,
in a night,
black with weight,
and shadows cast like islands.

The sign posts said nothing,
and the ribboned crows looked down,
and to dark lanes aside,
where the souls marched blind,
and seeing were blinded,
by the hands of the blind.

And the moon just hung there,

and the moon just hung there.
