Category: hello, moon

do what you do
moon. don’t what you don’t—
we’re gonna watch you
no matter what.

heart grew so full it broke
moon. and melted
on the floor

trickled through
the hardwood cracks and
dripped on guests
below

found its way to
hidden things,
sipped a bit of
tea

caught the twinkle of
a star and just a hint
of free

kissed the face of
dreams come true
sleeping by the stair

played a bit with
kitty cat and
wandered out
the door.

thank you
moon.

for being you.

there were questions before you arrived
moon. after you leave there might be
a few too.

one thing we’ve learned
in this time
moon. one thing seems sure
in the blur:

we can fill a heart.
with a song.
or two.
mend a hurt
with time.

skip to my Lou
when there’s ice.
on the pond–

ponder a bit
about you.

says he’s a man of the people
moon. we’re hopin his people come
pick him up soon.

gonna line all the fire trucks up
moon. extend all the ladders
and climb to you.

open, not open, re-opening
moon. we’d go to great lengths
to patronize you.

you’re easy on the eyes
moon. handy with your hands.
stop the clock
we’ll pick you up—

if you haven’t other plans.

remind us to remember
moon. be kind when we forget.
remind us when we have no time—
that time is all

we’ve left.
