Kitties came and went all night long
2:30--5:30 a.m.
as in a curious furry nightmare
moth fluttering around the room in the dark
way too late for the radiant world... or is it?
That's the sphere of the lux and
the lumen, spurned
at your own risk --
the dark and the strange, or luminous
and unlucky

Tom, I love this poem: the "lux" and the "lumen," the "unlucky". Thanks for posting this one.
Thanks to you, Dale.
Speaking of unlucky, is it just me, or is that lower moth giving us a bit of the old mal occhio?
