Strands of light cross my wall. Full moon through the blinds So bright it shines within a city without stars. It bobs in a murky brown pond. Mosquito satellites **** by. I'm enthralled by its loneliness. In a city without stars, the moon conducts the streetlamp orchestra Though it's a solemn life she leads May she never dream. May she never wish. Long as we exist, she's shrouded, but as long as we do, she is loved.
