Moonsnails. Painting by Reni Moriarity


Moonsnails

Moonsnails curl
in on themselves
like women sleeping,
soft rounded shapes
in grey-blue night.
Moondrops fallen
upon quicksilver sand,
bared by La Bella Luna
and low, curving tide.

  2. Thank you Stephanie. Reni is the wife of my pianist, Mark, and a member of Two Waters Arts Alliance. Ever since I saw the painting I felt a poem coming.
