FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

events seem to have
lives of their own
no matter how you
control dates and
moments
some go astray
and you shake you head
unbelieving
why it happened

you too have your
own expectations
on personal hands
on fingers that point
where
but never reached
just the same

this is life, specks of dust
spreading in a space of
light in motion
how time travels and
where it is heading
is still beyond our
limited calculations.
