August Moon: the curtain

August Moon Day 7 prompt: I pull back the curtain and I see...



...a game between strangers
who see each other often
but not away
from the courts
or the parties

just as I blink
stumbling into someone
out of their Sunday best
as I exit a shower

-- yes, a fig leaf
would fool me.
My garden is thick
with saplings
so green
they would smother
an angel's sword
with all
of their wayward
veinglory.
