p o e t r y

home moon
 

away from home
when darkness falls
like the dark blue
see-through blanket
twilight
I think of you
in a heart-felt longing,
missing
the tenderly known

away from home,
a quiet night
unrelentlessly approaching,
an unfamiliar
but pleasant
smell of air

away from home
I face dreamily
the vanishing horizon,
absorbing distance
and proximity

I kiss you
silently
good-night,
send you my love
from here
on pale moonlight
