here is a
moon boon
a beam gleam
it seems
I almost brought it to you on a silver spoon
but I balanced it on my head instead
for you craned your neck for far too long
and, to me, that felt uncomfortable and wrong
so here he is
for you to cradle if you wish
this gift, how could you resist?
this exact
balancing act
a pact
with myself
I made
that I wouldn’t
touch it to avoid more craters
with my fingertips
instead I’d bring it steady
with my forehead grips
for you to not miss
and to give him a gentle kiss
with your lips
