moon while walking the dogs —
upturned mouth
smiling over the night
*
I look up often. But it's the night skies that etch in my memory.
I look up at night while walking the dogs.
I look up comforted by companion moon I have known
all of my life, wherever I go.
How wonderful it would be to have someone
like the moon
who loves you so much
that, despite the familiarity of a lifetime,
stays with you all those years.
*
Alaskan river —
moon lights paths
on your curving places
*
July moon over mountains
followed us as we drove
to our honeymoon —
it was there we met each other's demons —
we were over by November
*
the moon in Mombasa
watched over us
as we watched over
the children
as they swam
*
in my many homes
moonlight through windows
uninvited
but always welcome
