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
