Lunar Exploration


The moon's a blank page, a piano,
a wishing stone. The rabbit in an Aztec sky.

It's a net for straining visions,
a bowl of light, reclining crescent moon,

its Cheshire Cat smile. New the first time
each child looks up reaching for it.

Military outpost, NASA's putting green
in the Sea of Tranquility, Easter signal,

a perfect silence. A white balloon punc--
tured. Tide master, night light for insomniacs.

Ghost in the sky at noon,
moving part of my sky watch.

Moon spins its solo pole dance. 
There are no limits to the moon.
