Moon mother
Way up there
Off to work
Before morning
My dishes put away
Red wine rings
On night glasses
Moon mother
Somewhere near Dog Star
but not too close
Off across the sky
before morning
Moon mother
coaxes me down from ledges
Flattens the sky
Until I see dust
around her lashes
dinner's taken care of
Moon mother
Calls me when she walks the dog
Talks business at 9pm
We eclipse glimpses
Every once in a while
