I am yet to take a good photo of the moon

that does justice

to its stirring, quiet luminosity

amidst the inky sky

and the tips of the city's silhouette.

I like this reminder

that the best things may not

always fully and satisfactorily fit

into a frame or screen

and to have seen and felt

and held that moment

in my heart and mind and body

is enough.
