there's something about the moon tonight
the way she sighs
seems to blow the stars
into the folds of black fabric
that surround her soft curves
with silk threads that pierce each diamond's eye
as they scatter, each one a needle, a crow's beak
there's something about this
that makes the moon gasp
oh how careless her care
and inhaling mist she chokes on dusty cloud
coughing a shower to soak her
woven black blankets
now damp and crying into the ether
maybe it's because sun forgot to give moon
a kiss on the way to bed
or maybe earth wore her new
cocktail dress, and moon is dull in envy of
her emerald and sapphire gown
fret not, dear moon
soon sun will be back, a warm hand on your shoulder
and, my darling, you can once again rest
your world-weary eyes
until your old friend tomorrow brings you back
your crescent smile
