Poetry from the 3:15 Experiment: August 3, 2009

August 3, 2009 3:15am

where does it start &
where does it end?

The baby sighs, snores
the fountain purrs

a car on the freeway
over ocean tide

no blare of fog horn
tells me sky is clear

the moon waxing near full
would cast enough light

to write this night if
I trusted I’d stay awake

Well, the moon is once again waxing full–it will be full tomorrow December 1. But I wrote this poem in August at 3:15am as part of the 3:15 Experiment 2009. Find out more here about the experiment and read poems from participants from around the world.
