(Poem) Fool’s Moon by Donna Snyder

The Fool’s Moon leads ineluctably to darkness. Sunlight prepares to impregnate the new day. The old one becomes tomorrow’s darkness, both new and fecund, neatly giving doom the lie and illuminating the mathematics of philosophy.

Moon paints snakes on her face. Copper bells ring. She dances, peculiarly festooned, as if time really exists, as if She is both in the box and outside the box. The Uncertainty Principle illustrated, darkness both perceived and felt as She appears to diminish.

We swim through a sea of vapors, truth a theory proved through self-deception. The Dark Side becomes brilliance. Fools stumble through the perception of dark.
