Talking to the moon from his terrace

On a daybed at a lake pier at dawn, he lies talking to a moon hidden behind cloud — tender in golden rain light, alone in the crowd.

The Story Behind This Image

Talking to the Moon

He talks to the moon from his terrace — not out loud, never out loud, but in the long internal monologue that lonely men conduct with the sky. Tonight the moon is behind cloud, so he talks to the lake pier at dawn instead, lying on the daybed with one arm behind his head, watching the light do its golden arithmetic through the rain.

His distressed denim jacket is damp. The crowd moves behind him with umbrellas, going somewhere. He stays. Tender is the quality of a man who has stopped fighting his solitude and started, cautiously, to befriend it. The moon, when it appears, will listen. It always does. It is the only audience that never interrupts.

Tender, Moonward

Tender is lying on a daybed in the rain, talking to a moon you cannot see. The conversation is one-sided and complete: he tells it about the celebrations he scrolled past, the thumb that got tired, the night that asked nothing of him. The moon says nothing, which is exactly right. Some conversations are just one man, one pier, one dawn, and the golden light keeping his place.

  • Pose: Reclining on the daybed, one arm behind his head, gazing up
