Luna Sinister

Luna Sinister

I saw the moon peering at me this morning,
Lids nearly squeezed shut as the new moon approaches
Then I recalled that this is Friday the Thirteenth—
Suddenly, that baleful slit became much more menacing…

Great title, Pen. Let's hope the day for you is not as foreboding as your poem describes.

Well, hopefully identifying it as "baleful slit" (which, pardon me, I originally mis read as "baleful sh*") will help to diminish its ominous potential. Taut and succinct!
