oh perigee moon
the last time
the last time
your swollen orb and beauty
appeared
this close to my heart
was march of '93
on the gulf of mexico's
white sand beaches
small and alone
below the surface
of your brilliance
with a melancholy ache
waiting
for some thing
or
someone
oh perigee moon
hello again
so many years later
do you still recognize me
perhaps not
but if you peer a bit closer
just below the surface
beyond the obvious
my heart sings
of love
in your morning light
of
tomorrow
