Moon's Desires
The moon has its own itinerary
Going about its business
As if I don’t exist
Within this world of exhaustive
Pieces of a whole
Just like the moon harvests
Only full but once a month
Eating away at itself
It moves along with grace
Unbeknown to the reality
That the sun
Only has so much to give
And will on day expire
Leaving the moonlight to die
Within its own desires
To be on its own devices
