clair de lune

the moon opens
his eyes

gazing upon the world
with a desperate
drowsiness

he mourns for
the heavens
like a pale, abandoned
muse
a piercing stare
of lunar rays
that stretch across
space and time.

i cup it in my hand,
watching the light
illuminate my
fingers, the warmth
of a lamenting
sphere
echoing

as i see myself
reflected in
the eyes of a god

gazing intently.

Everyone talks about bathing in the glow of the sun..never the moon...This is different.
I like the last line
