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.

caught us a bit of a preview
moon. from the looks of the looks…
book your tickets.

soon.

dreamin of you in a dream
moon. singin of you
in a song.

thinkin of you cuz you’re here.
when you’re here. knowin
you’ll soon be
gone.

when are you comin out
moon? when will you
be down?

made up and dressed
in Sunday’s best, ready
to paint the town?

remember to bring a Rubik’s
cube. and change for the matinee.

the sun said you missed us—
we miss you more…
we’ve only got
today.
