The Snow Angel (Day 3)



An
inch of snow fell in the early morning
blurring your edges, softening the
painful cracks 
in the dry snow around you
now you are even more beautiful.



An
inch of             snow fell
again  early  this  morning
blurring your sharp edges,
softening 
all the painful
cracks in the dry
snow around you, and now
you are                  even more
beautiful.

The Rabbit in the Moon

I saw the rabbit in the moon! 

This is significant because I have never seen "The Man in the Moon," which is what Americans are supposed to see when they look at the full moon.  (I blame manga.  And manwha, if I'm being fair.  Somehow, reading all those Japanese and Korean graphic novels has corrupted my vision. :) 

Back to the rabbit.  It was eerie.  I looked up, and there it was: a rabbit clearly made out of crater shadows on the moon.  I had never seen it before, and I haven't seen it since, but for that one time, it was clearly there.

I wonder if I would have seen it on my birthday if I hadn't been hibernating during that full moon.  Ah, well, I've seen if once, which is more than I can say for the Milky Way.  Blind spots indeed.

Ever seen any interesting shapes in the moon?  Do share.
