He stands transfixed,

letting the tropical full moon
bathe him in its viscous light,
listening to a world at rest
and asking himself
what grand culmination,
what great project,
what ultimate contribution
will be the denouement
of an uncertain life?
The trivial question falls
to the ground unnoticed
and unmourned,
as he watches the nocturne
in silence.
