Gausian Moon

The full moon tonight is a pearl in a whirly smoke veil that is passing on over to Nova Scotia in silence

And its halo assumes the copper and indigo colors of William Blake’s dramas

The mountains of the moon

The Sun’s distant light
Looking back on the swirl of life 

Looking back at this fool’s errand Earth

And again I ask the sky 

Who’s hostage am I? - Jack Vaughan

[[

Same poem set with a different approach to abstraction-

Hostage

A smoky image

the moon tonight

a girl

whirling in

a veil

moving toward

Nova scotia

dreaming. - Jack Vaughan
