If I Sent Messages From The Moon

if I sent messages from the moon
would the headline read: MAROONED
would I miss moss and just a touch of frost

on the wild violets.
what compass could I carry.
what slip knot at the end

down a silvery fire escape.
quietus made too late.

Emily said in our town
oh earth you're just too wonderful
when she was coming back.

was that a telegram too?
the moon was made for rumination
there's a lot to think about sometimes.

no moths to consume though.
you could wear silver forever
and just be who you are

along with all the stars.
