full moon night
the two empty soda bottles
go into the recycle bin,
the bag of garbage from
the kitchen tops off the
garbage can and I wheel it
to the curb.
I stand on the sidewalk,
look at the stars and think that
the light of stars I see tonight
began a million years ago.
I look at the apartments on the
next street behind my house
and know that
sex and love and murder
and madness and indifference
are happening at the same time.
then I notice the full moon
hanging in the sky like a pearl,
the moon that makes people
and oceans crazy,
I think of someone up there
while I'm down here,
mosquitoes biting my ankles,
and I go inside, up the stairs,
into bed and wake my wife
with a kiss on her shoulder,
whispering
"I need some love,
the moon is full
tonight."
