(moon)

orange half-slice Ju Ju fruit
moon. roll you in sugar.  you’ll
stick to our teeth.

(lightning)

electric lightning in
the Western skies.
like a blanket you are
everywhere at once and       you are
nowhere.

covering our faces,
we remain
your captives.     you are
everywhere at once.
nowhere.

(wind)

in lieu of moon night wind
insists we bundle up. reconsiders
later, backing down
to coax
our secrets out.

peek-a-boo moon.
we still see you.
shining through the August
leaves.

some things are just not the right fit
moon. grab a leg of these jeans
and pull.

orange circus peanut candy
moon. hide you inside my new kazoo.
(eat you up later)

g’nite moon. nap-time stars.
(shhh…let’s sneak out and go play the jars)
(and come pick us up)
