“Foggy Moon II” by Sherry Genovar-Simons
fog has a sound
if you listen
droplets burst
low to ground
on atomized air
the small noise
of conflict
encounters of cold
vying warmth
for supremacy
settling their hash
moistly wrestling
swirled in their
clinches the tails
of their veils
smudge the moon
till agreement
finds voice in
thin whispering
vapors of truce
just in time for the
yawning of dawn
before boulders
borrow the sun
From my books Small Noise and Legacies (vol. 2)
Beautiful Paul! “the tails of their veils smudge the moon” wow… just wow. ❤

Wonderful internal rhyming. The colors in the picture draw me into “the atomized air”.

The first four lines are actually breathtaking. If there were fog outside right now I would rush out-of-doors to listen.

It’s like an intimate stream of conscious from your immediate environment, so picking any lines takes them out of context, but I do like these sounds:
‘thin whispering
vapors of truce
just in time for the
yawning of dawn”

I love the phrase, “yawning of dawn”, and your use of alliteration, in general.
