Rondelet

The moon's contour
a steep bowl, or a cycle, now.
The moon's contour
change: we shape it with these hands, place
fingers over our eyes, make of
it a triangle, now a bowl like
the moon's contour.


(Ruined) Rondelet

The moon the shape
of a bowl, or a cycle, now.
We stargaze in our orchard yard
as we shape the moon with our hands,
how we place each fingers over our
eyes, so that we make of the moon
at first a triangle, then a shape after
cutting it, aptly, in half; now
the moon the shape
of a steep bowl.
