La lune

The white moon
Highlights the silhouette
Of a body that will soon
Return to Earth
But still be shone on by the moon’s light

The yellow moon
In the shape of a smile
Takes me back
To when all our mouths made that same shape
When shone by the moon’s light

The blood red moon
Observes you as you observe it
And it eyes you back
It knows who long you’ve been waiting
To be shone on by its red light

In the end
Being shone on by the moon’s light
Whether red, yellow, or white
Is truly
Exquisite.
