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.
