Day Moon

Day Moon
Why do you linger so?
A single pearl
On a silver plate.

Are you a meddling moon
Ready to make
The sun blush
With your mischief?

Or night’s spy turned thief
Here to steal
The early
Morning light?

Maybe a run away moon
A furtive fugitive
Of darkness
Past?

Broken free and fleeing
From black holes
Space stations
And the like.

If so I am here for you.
Let me pocket you
And we can be
Gone.
