In this evocative poem, Dr Molly describes the beauty of the celestial bodies – exclusively for Different Truths.
Dark encrustations
hang around
smother
the brightness...
with a calm
candescence
the moon
allows it ...
how long
can this
go on?
the pendulum
swings
and nothing
can be
perennial ...
continuums
of the flux
that resists
regularity...
sane is
the mind
that turns
not inane...
flow, flow
in tandem
waiting for
the brightness
to spread…
