Moon of Day

the lightless moon of day
is no less so
the moon of love 
haunting lore 

displayed for all to see
in morning's brightened sky
she goes unnoticed
undesired maybe
somewhat shy 

vaguely he wonders if
she feels the loss
her china face
pale blue

hung and long forgotten
faded portrait
on cobwebs
attic wall
