one time
i sat by the canal
on top of a picnic table
and looked at the moon.
at first my thought raced
but I kept looking at the moon
soon the distance between us vanished
and the moon and I were.i heard the voices of people around me.
the voices called my name.
i did not answer.
the moon and i
did not speak
we did not answer
we stayed in the sky.— Metro Davis
