the poor moon
Is it bad that I pity the moon?
In all its glowing glory
I still have pity
For the moon is covered in craters
And dents
And wounds
That will never heal
While being taunted by that mirage of a beauty
The earth
In all its unhuman humanity
Appearing green and lush
Blue and vast
But it too has wounds
Far deeper than the surface
And the poor moon will never know the truth
