Follow the moon

What sieve
can distill a dream?

A thing of moment
intimated,
but confounded
by dictionary devils.

Enticing in its grey distance,
alluring in its apple wholeness,
it follows like a moon.

One wakes
to the knives of morning,
mourning the loss of the thing.
Struck dumb,
as it were, in regret.
