Is the moon
just past full
It is silver like
a rare coin of Greece or China
the surface of the Harbor
is glistening
I wonder where you are
just upstairs
or a thousand leagues away
I look at the dim room
yellow tulips, maple
I hear the voice
of a lonely woman
who will cry
exactly 52 minutes
are you looking out
your window
at this cool firework
I have arranged for you
why did God put me here
jotting notes of nature
of the beauty of your mind
You smile
at this nonsense
which keeps me up
past pill time
because I must tell you
of the glow
radiating out from my heart
because life is beautiful
like you
