The Mystery of the Lunar Month

 

The reality of the lunar month

A tiny bat jerking and jinking through the dusk

In pursuit of its evening mosquitoes

Beneath a far-up vapor trail

 

The mystery of the lunar month

Calculated by wise ones in the long ago

With night far gentler than the solar heat

And minds more subtle than the glare of day

 

Each a mathematical autocrat

(Smoking an after-dinner ziggurat?)
