small poems about the moon


dear moon
I forgot to look at you last night
did you see me?

turning my gaze
from the weeping moon —
saving face

beneath 
1,000 moons
the longest kiss

full moon
stares a hole through rock —
witch-stone

my face
in the mirror
moonglow

puffed up with pride
the moon
inventor of tides

here I am —
somewhere between ocean and moon
somewhere between lost and found

unbutton the moon from the sky
wear it on your sleeve
close to your heart

moon
why do you follow me?
I am lost

cresting the mountain
moon hesitates —
no need to rush things
   sometimes eternity
   feels like an eternity
