31 Moons Ago
This place, I remember
From only a few
Dreamy nights ago
Was it more?
This water
These splinters from this canoe
Those distant people
So real
Frozen water!
I said push me
To that land
But this land?
Of all the places
Many moons
Have taken me
That wise moon took me to this eerie, familiar place.
No! No! Don’t let me
Step into this thick
Icy water that will sting my calves
Too late
No! No! Don’t let the eyes
Of these unreal people
Grab mine like a child grabs the forbidden cookie
Or do I know them? Do I know these eyes? What a silly thought.
My eyes run away from this eerie sight.
What is this? A familiar sun?
Wait! Don’t go!
But, the disobeying light turns to an angering glow.
You are the very moon
That brought me
Here
To this uncommon place
How long
Will I be here?
When will I leave this familiar dreamy night?
Only a new day will know
Legs! Let me run!
Run away
From this uncommon, familiar place
Chase! Chase! Chase the quick, hot sun!
Run! Run!
Go!
Quick!
Before it’s too late!
CATCH THAT SUN!
