What a wonderfully skilled and beautifully worded poem this is. I have to say, the title is very imaginative, too.

All the very best.

There was reassurance I read in this, with that tinge of sadness, and like you are waiting, to know and understand what being "whole" means. The connection to the moon and that kinship with it, wanting to know if it grieves in the same ways... brings some peace of mind. That we are not alone in our search for what is missing...

You always put your best forward. Lovely and well done
