moon trance
I'm in my apartment
standing at the window
all the lights are off
I'm staring at the full moon
the night is clear
my view is unobstructed
a star is next to it
or it might be a planet
this was not planned
I'm not supposed to be here
but I remembered something
that I wrote years ago
which seemed so important
but doesn't seem so now
as I'm looking at the moon
so late at night
nothing else seems real
only this moment
I was about to go to bed
but something is holding me
I have nothing to say
I'm just staring like an animal
perfectly at peace
and I never want to leave
