Inside outside rainbows
One fine afternoon
two rainbows
concentric
in a sky turning pale
one bright bold rainbow
with blue inside, red outside
and one fainter rainbow outside
with blue outside, red inside
And above the two rainbows
a half moon
the same shape as the rainbows
but not concentric
and no color
A few afternoons later
two rainbows as before
blue inside the inside
and outside the outside
This time the moon was fuller
and inside the inside rainbow
not concentric but a lot closer
and I remember the sky
a deepening light blue
