THE MOON

The moon

so ripe, so succulent,

so big

is so near to us

so low to the ground

it is as if we could pluck it out

taste its soul.

I hope this moon that I see

is high enough for you to spy

to see it

from wherever you are

so we can enjoy it

view it

share this one last thing

together.

I wish you were here with me

but knowing that you

like me

are with the moon

that would be enough.
