we are the moon

1.

Bira | moon

one revolution ago we met under a super pink moon         i

stepped out from the shadows        my face tilted back to soak up

the light        a crisp silhouette of a night            my world slept

deep toward that transition-time slipping from one fierce day to

the next

zoom-video kicks in before audio             our bodies glitch through

time zones           my eyes bright            you arrive with the sun

and take your first sip of morning tea

we agree on the rising heat and weight of worry       the global

pace is quickening to spin-out all our tomorrows         we

recognise this fight-flight tremor on the verge       feel the

gravitational pull transforming every cell in every living thing our

body        we are running somewhere between dogged resolve

trepidation and fatigue        and like all the grandmothers before

us who created everything from nothing         we know           there

is so much work to do              so much to do                    so

Yes                    we finally say                  let’s think about the moon
