The Moon Fell Away

I watched the sliver of a moon fade away tonight. Resting among the deep, dark clouds from the hurricane, I watched it transform itself into the effulgence of the sky. I observed as it seemed our sublunary earth started to spin faster than anyone has felt previously. Driving along the stretch of road was not the issue, the horizon ran away from me faster and faster.

The clouds circled around us in anticipation for the rain that probably isn't to come. The wind hit my face hard and I felt a myriad of emotions.

The moon was still falling away in dust. The star straggled behind. This was the end of those peaceful, aestival nights.
