Grandma Moon

The moon lives down the lane. I knock on her door when I want to be seen with kind eyes that have watched me become from a neighbor's distance. 

The silver lining of extraordinary times 
is that each night the moon still shines. 

Grandma Moon, 
Mother Moon, 
Moon That Grows in My Belly,

under your pull, I teeter, then sigh, 
for the edge, the universe, 
is as far as it is nigh.
