The moondog

. . . in and out
of pale moon shadows
a paler form moves,
moving slowly now
as time passes,
it is an entity
that has seen much
and forgotten many things
most of everything is behind now
with little left to know
that means anything,
so the pale shadow moves on
in and out of mottled future trails,
from a brightly colored day
into a pale pool of moonlight . . .
