i dreamt i was one
of a group of people
seeking initiation
upon arriving
i see another group
already there
start to leave
i notice a woman
one of the initiates
she and i go in and meet
an older woman who tells us
her energy level is low
after the ceremony
that has just ended
i look for a long time
at the face of the woman with me
and realize she doesn't resemble
anyone i know
the three of us look out at
the moon at the horizon
it is huge
i can clearly see craters
and other surface features
a waxing moon
not yet full
darkening as we watch it set
and we continue to see all of it
somehow we look over the horizon
