the cat meowed.
the dog yawned.
the pine tree swayed as it did yesterday.
then the moon dawned
on the horizon, luna feeling her
self overcome by the sun,
felt a need to pull the   tide
hard
the sailor ignored
he had a brave tail wind
until
the dog bit the tail
of the cat and the pine felt a bolt of lightning
the moon so high above delighting
any man to hold her in contempt
came from behind the clouds, suddenly
with frightening aplomb,
pulled and played with the waves
until the sailor
sought forgiveness.
And gave the moon her
full due.
