Where do we go now?
There is no road map
for this.
We laid it all out last night
spread all of our cards on the table with both hands
a collection of memory, grief, regret, and wondering
and now
they just lie there.
Tonight’s full moon is a lunistice
– a lunar standstill –
suspended
between
when we were married
and
wherever we go now.

Thanks for the new word – “lunistice” The first two lines lead us so nicely into the poem! Nice weaving of yourself with the moon. Enjoyed this!
Wow.
You capture an eternal moment, so important and meaningful and uncertain.
You paint the scene masterfully. Allowing the reader into a moment of deep privacy, uncertainty, potential. 💛
