Whither - today's poem. I'm not quite making the poem a day mark, but okay.

Whither

a destitute moon

cannot but produce lemonade

as regular as a wing.  As the moon’s son

yet scours the offside sky

over the long white fence to dry

its eccentric orbit seems fractious

Though our supper fit with the timescale

of the moonrise -  I’m uncertain

this struggle is one of seeking

the safety of square numbers

In the never lands gravity brings things

down into depressions to blur

each last time opening

like a striped umbrella in a casual parade

lapses in the tide of all things

with a snootful of amazement

Fly me to the moon like a fiddler

over a lake that reflects downscales

inevitably finding the least common

where the buffalo wallow
