of steady consequence

Waking amidst virgin dews

Blushed moon waning
Draws shrinking tides
Into the basins of
Sainthood

I swat a newly
Hatched
Fly

And shatter
Some kind of
Destiny

This is amazing. I love it. A perfect marriage of simplicity and the profound. BTW...we're neighbors!

What I'm reading into this poem is a reluctance to accept day in place of night. The images of night are so delicate and beautiful and the brutal reality of daylight is represented by a pesky fly.

I love the simplicity and the haiku-like feel. The first line feels awkward to me. Maybe it's just the word amidst.

How about away from the shrinking basins? I think away from would be more consisten with waning and shrinking.

Last two stanzas said it all (for me) Wondering if the lead up is 'necessary'? It feels like your writing is shifting quite a bit since I last read yr poetry some months ago. I will watch the journey with interest.
