la luna e il lupo

Written for dVerse Poet’s Pub – Unpunctuated,
where our host, Melissa, asks us to write a poem
sans punctuation. Here’s where the prompt took me.

la luna does not ask permission

she simply

arrives

cold and unbothered above the treeline

while somewhere il lupo lifts his head

and BARKS

knowing

the way light can be a kind of sound
