The Little Things
In the
three minutes
between
night and day,
the grinning moon
decided to share
it’s pale spotlight
with you,
sitting cross legged
in the dark grass,
caramel hair
sheathed around
my neck.
Like the
midwest woods
on a
cloudy afternoon,
I watched your eyes
break from their
brown cocoon.
