etched on the moon
behind the clouds
my listless wandering
I've deliberately not read the comments yet.

The first line is very atmospheric:
"etched on the moon"

I wonder about switching lines two and three? Partly as you retain the classic short long short line shape, but also to avoid an inversion.

if you were aiming for a pivot line I don't think it's necessary to allow this to be a poem that resonates.

warm regards,

Alan
