insouciant, imperial

with its craters and clouds

predestined, unbothered

by our perceptions

the ebb and flow
of tides and times

rising, waning
a nail clip, half or full

glanced from the cockpit

deflected on dew drops
silhouetting lovers' embrace
cascading through the branches

of thousand year baobabin selebi-phikwe

splashing its magic
over the mournful taj

the serene chanda
ever whirling
two lovers
hypnotized in separation
morbid, magical, mysterious
timeless love
of parvana moon
