THE MOON
See the full moon's bright eye,
you may use her as guide.
capture her sclera, pupil, and iris
in colors you see fitting on a clear evening.
Cut out her yellow yolk of an egg
reveal just albumen as if to mix in potent drink -
look at the moon! it is a silver balloon
suspended high up in space.
feel the moon. it feels like a heavy ball
it holds a patient's leg in traction.
