Persistent Moon
By Carol Kanter
Near full, she lingers high west
mid-morn, night’s far stars
tucked at rest.
Stoic cameo worn thin
against crystal sky,
loath to dim,
she does her best to shed light
on silos where hate
clones, incites
pride, lies, rage...offense…
violence.
Carol Kanter’s poetry has appeared in over seventy literary journals and
anthologies. FinishingLine Press published her first two chapbooks: “Out of
Southern Africa,” and “Chronicle of Dog.” Peterborough Poetry Project published
her third, “Of Water.”
