Sunburn is just

memory burned

onto skin · peeling,

· flaking · to be

forgotten · lost

in the light

where it

happened ·

seared then

erased ·

gone almost

as quickly as

it came · this

is what

the Sun does

·

The Moon is wise

· merciful · it does

not do such

things · it knows

to keep secret

· what happens

in the night ·

never nosy

· never prying

never bold ·

her light always

soft · as her

shadows
