With the Moon On Her Face

She wrote them on Wednesday
when she was alone
  eating her jellybeans
there by the phone

  She mailed them on Thursday
before she served tea
she looked out her window
with nothing to see

   Celestial bodies
cast shadows in space
she went to her room
with the moon on her face

  Hugging the Earth
spinning round and around
only her physical body
was bound.
