To Catch the Moon
How does one capture the moon?
Catch hold of its beams and tug it
to the earth?
Rearrange the stars
So it might mistake the
earth for horizon?
Should it be coaxed down
Or caught in one's mouth
And swallowed all at once?
Don't tell me it's impossible
My lover has done it, you know
Every night, when the light is low
I see it shining from his eyes
