Claudine Toutoungi

Apostrophe

Tonight the white moon is as slim as a fingernail.
Slick as grammar, this slender curl,
The night sky’s Apostrophe of Possession.

How easily it stakes its claim.
Cool ivory. Made by some celestial brushstroke,
One fell lick to say-
There. That’s mine.

How would it be if I could hook you with such certitude,
My arm, curving around your shoulders?
