Poem Of The Week

by Kona Macphee

After my first book came out, I spent a long time not writing. It's definitely overrated. Now I've got this blog. So far, more fun.

Apollo 11

There are moments
when the world’s breath pends within
the fine visor of its atmosphere,
when every twist and fillip of an epic story
travels in the pod of a single word.

One dawns here now,
as a blue moon transits the hazeless dark
above these slatted footprints in the dust:
Earthrise.
