The Moon


moonlight is so bright

but what does it sound like?

it sounds like the nights 

where you muffled cries 

it sounds like the nights 

where there was nothing to do but sigh

but sometimes

it sounds like the night you committed a crime

you laughed 

you smiled

and for a while

the moon sounded like it should

bright
