Lunar Continents
full moon night--
i see the lunar continents etched from humble
earth (the man is hiding for now),
antarctica curving
at the base,
africa full of
craters.
i see australia overlooking my neighbors'
apartments
europe shining
avant-garde-like
east of a milky
atlantic.
i see south america and asia on either side
of the equator (can't imagine the tropics
on the moon).
i zoom in
on north america,
spot you
frolicking
in a random field with sun chips and
echinacea,
content
to
be
anywhere.
i just walked inside from looking at the moon.
ReplyDeletei love this poem. after all, the moon is a mirror.
