Yours is a different moon that I set my sights upon
The waning night sky dispersed in its pearlescent blush
A dewdrop of oil in the liquid night sends stars scurrying
Blurring its glow to a spacious rainbow haze, an amethyst balm
Each land, a different moon for its own charcoal skyline
Its beam reaching only to the boundaries and then another
My eyelashes awash, absorbing precious moonbeams for my homeland
I will release them, a thousand flecks of glitter hurtling into space
My moon is not your moon waiting there unspoken and faint
Complacent and gazed upon, a diluted wonder from the earth
I rest my cheek on the window drinking its shimmery cordial
I might stay here eternally; I’m in love with your different moon
