ekphrastic

 

The Kenyan Moon

 

A bright full circle

contrasted the indigo sky,

casting enough light

to show elephants

and acacia trees

on the pale blue horizon.

Three silhouettes of tall, sleek giraffes

stood before the whiteness of the moon

their long necks angled

differently from one another.
