Malca Litovitz and Elana Wolff - moon-sliver

Same sliver of moon we saw in Paris leaning over the Louvre,
                                              shadows on the waters of the Seine.
Same trace of an angel, too, in the unlit gibbous.
Moon-shadows on the tunnel, the black water, the willow tree,
                           and the young girls
            singing “Vie en rose” by the Pont du Carrousel.
I was wearing a sailor’s dress with a red tie;
                                                     you were wearing white.
The lesser light illumined us all with its scythe.
