Moon In the WindowI wish I could say I was the kind of childwho watched the moon from her windowwould turn toward it and wonder.I never wondered. I read. Dark signsthat crawled toward the edge of the page.It took me years to grow a heartfrom paper and glue. All I had was a flashlight bright as the moona white hole blazing beneath the sheets.
Our love was covered in fur yet I was the only one who wanted to pet it.
