Moon-talk

 

 

 

Moon, creamy white stone,

 

precious . . . Stick with the legends –

 

better at a distance.

 

 

My litany could go on –

 

I don’t want to visit,

 

take a machine-ride against gravity

 

brain-open.

 

 

But if I change my mind

 

Moon won’t have any

 

say in it.
