A Man with Moonlight
she hums sounds of sleep,
soothes her child
as she observes —
behind screened windows,
blotched yellowed-white
by the moon
on the gated garden wall,
a man
walking in the moonlight.
alone.
and in her loneliness,
she wonders what
thoughts and hunger
cross his mind.

A fellow ‘people watcher’ — it is good fun.
