Quill & Parchment: Moon's Fault

Moon's Fault
by Laura Snyder

When the great lantern moon hangs
heavy spring,
frogs gather at pond margins,
light-struck in pond weed.

The males bay–
spotted throats balloon–
howl out desire.

They grasp their females
like glistening rocks,
pointing fingers at the moon.
