but evening light remains
in the leaves

from here on I’ll speak to the moon
face to face

and wet my sleeves
thinking about it

from the foot of the mountain,
but at the peak
we all gaze at the
single bright moon

the amulet
I send with my child
is my heart and only that
let it pass
through all your barriers

because of being alone
the moon is a friend
