“In the Moon’s Eye”
I used to be afraid
of the moon.
At night, it followed me
like a detective.
In daylight, it was not
so threatening.
It hung around like it was
hidden, but it wasn’t.
It stayed behind a filmy drape
of the Sun’s making.
I wondered why
it didn’t haunt another planet.
Or was it waiting
for me, just me?
