the moon was full that afternoon
as she sat above the city’s
monuments
her bright light reflecting in the
Potomac
city lights joining her as
night falls
shining so bright
giving her light
impressions of her heavenly body
glorious for any who see her
a smile shy and flirting
a flash of light in her eyes
strands of raven locks cloud her
surface
a vision of beauty for all to see
proud, dignified, graceful
radiant in a void of blackness
– stunning
wil becker
