boil us up some hot water
moon. mix us a cup of chai tea.
you know we’ll be back.
with scarves, mittens
and hats:
still cold
as cold
can be.

halfway done with shoppin
moon. halfway done with cards.
halfway done with wrappin and stuffin and
lightin up the yard.

halfway done with sprinkles and cookies and
eggnog and rommegrot.
all the way ready
to sneak away
and spend
some time
with you.

the city looks pretty in lights
moon. snowflakes and shoppers and
Christmas tunes.

use you to put on a shoe
moon. use you to open a can.
use you to lasso the twinkling stars
and boomerang into our hands.

ghost of Christmas past
moon. wearing fishnet.
and hat pins.
and missing a boot.

rough enough, tough enough, rich enough
moon. all the pretty, pretty girls
and you.

if you couldn’t be the moon,
moon…
what would you do?

caught us a fallin star
moon. but the glove had a hole.
now we’re lookin for glue.

not exactly a double life
moon—we just wear different clothes
when we’re out.

(with you)
