Full Moon Rising

                                                                  

As was the case yesterday afternoon,

Today's clouds evaporated just in time

For the sun to head west, without requesting directions from me.

 

And I, having walked at a reasonably leisurely pace,

Three miles out of town and three and a half back,

Am now languishing, supine, atop the dock's wooden planks,

 

Eagerly anticipating the rising of tonight's full moon,

At 9:27,

Realizing that it'll be the first one I've seen since New Year's,

 

All the while promising my soul

That even if the clouds reassert their sovereignty over the sky,

I'll not let disappointment destroy the joy this evening will deliver,

 

For my being able to will imagination

To let me see that moon, in my mind's eye, seeing me,

With nothing between us but our awe of each other.
