DISTANCE



Sweet moon,
I wish you could come
A little bit closer.
Make my tide
Go wild
Let me peer
Into your craters.

But too much closer
And I might get thrown off balance,
I might spew forth lava
And boil away this healing water.
Too much closer and I might no longer
Be the thing you once admired.

But even worse for you
If you get too close,
Dear moon,
I might tear you apart.
Leave you floating around me in pieces.
A cloak of rocks to serve as a warning
For others- don’t get too close.
