moon over you
cynthia alexander

come to think of it
we have nothing to begin with
as soon as you come to mind
i put you away like dirty socks
the laundry, my guitar Ra
when i'm done playing
the dishes eaten over
the floor walked upon
what a mess if i don't put you away
come to think of it if i did what i hadn't
come to think of it if i did
moon over you
falling
Icarus falling
Jupiter falling
moon over you
come to think of it
we have everything between us
a train of domestic compromises
whichever end i'm at
even secret days of saffron sky
pretend i've not a memory
there are dishes eaten over
the floor walked upon
what a mess if i don't put you away
come to think of it if i did what i hadn't
come to think of it if i did
moon over you
