Last night, as a lavender dusk settled over Hell Gate
a pale shell of the full moon rose up among the high buildings
then shone white in the deepening blue sky
as the bright lights of the Second Avenue construction came on

Thanks, Fergiemoto! Unfortunately, I came too late to catch the moon just rising above the horizon, no doubt appearing absolutely huge and perfectly placed just behind the Hell Gate Bridge :-(… Well, next time!
