10 Ways of Seeing The Moon<\/span>


big biscuit moon<\/span>

a floodlight over the empty docks<\/span>

in a morning mist, it keeps hanging<\/span>

now I see you, now I see don\u2019t<\/span>

as you drop from the balcony<\/span>
to a boy with brown hair<\/span>

wizardry on a chalkboard<\/span>
a reminder to buy some cheese<\/span>

the trapeze artist spots a place<\/span>
to hang her face<\/span>

in a courtyard a bucket<\/span>
lies on its side reflecting the moon<\/span>
as a stoat stops, unseen<\/span>

one night by a lake<\/span>
Mary has a vengeful monster to create<\/span>

and a day selling big issues is punctuated by the moon.<\/span>
