Borrowed Light

The moon has no light of its own; it borrows the sun's and hands it back softer. Twenty years of looking up: a nearly full moon caught in cloud over St. Louis County this very evening, a solstice moon rising orange under a steel bridge, a crescent with its dark side faintly showing over the Potomac, moonrise behind a lone cloud in Maryland, moonset over Monterey Bay at dawn, a supermoon blazing over the Outer Banks, Hilton Head beaches at blue hour, the Bay Bridge strung with lights, and a hunter's moon coming up red over Creve Coeur Lake. Six looks share one wall: bold, abstract, natural, misty, golden and turned all the way up, hung so no two neighbours feel alike.
