solstice moon


she can't sleep now,
the moon is red.

she fights a fever,
she burns in bed.

she needs to talk,
so we take a walk
down in the maroon light.

she says,
"Maybe these emotions
are as near to love
as love will ever be."

so i agree.

then the moon breaks.

she takes the corner,
that's all she takes.

she moves on.

[Paul Simon, 'She Moves On' from Rhythm Of The Saints]
