this morning by accident purely by

I single handedly caught the moon 

not that it needed catching or wanted catching or even cared

one way or the other

and just to be clear no one elected me to be moon catcher  

it wasn't elusive there was no net or chase or struggle or pain

no moon was injured in this process

it was in its normal place sitting in it's normal window cozily but

oddly surrounded by a circle of fuzzy cloud

or something very much like fuzzy cloud or cotton gauze

or maybe more like space dust or some lost skim milky way

I just don't know 

not quite in focus it obscured the moon and then 

the moon mystifyingly became pearl luminescent larger than life lost from some celestial necklace  sliding from the thin neck blush of a delicate star

leaving an indistinct shadow of itself as it faded away slowly into a slowly coming day last bluish shade of night I released it

I expect it will return to the same place tomorrow or close by

unbothered by this or any other 

unlicensed deed by me

or any 

other
