Sugar Moon

We ate a pint of Ben and Jerry's

together

in the back of your mom's car

that's what friends are

for

and then we skied

when the sun set

and the stars rose

and

when we turned the corner we saw

the orange moon

like someone hung a lamp for us

a hollowed out pumpkin with a candle

in the middle

an orange paper lantern 

lit within

a dash of a paintbrush

on the canvas of our world

where friends eat Ben and Jerry's

together.

    Who are we? 

    Are we men 

    in offices, yes that would still be 

    us. 

     

    But, I think we are also the boy who got a flag from the lady in the parade and waves it because he loves his country

  • Faded peace

    The red truck blue truck cap

    Bright blue, not pretty

    Like dancing eyes no

    This is down to business blue eyes hardened

    After too many people said no

    After too many yesses didn’t work out
