“mouthing the moon”
 
 behold a strawberry
 moon of jam!
 i will lick it —
              if i can.

“I Can’t Write Because”
 
It’s 90 degrees outside.
I need peanut butter ice cream.
I have to listen.
There could be a thunderstorm.
I require a right poem for the road into June.
How can this be almost half another year gone?
I must be outside at dusk.
Or maybe outside at sunrise.
I don’t yet have words for the taste of the strawberry moon.

strawberry moons in my eyes
are welcome to join us on each side
of our lives to visit in my own mind please reach the minimum to me anytime ahead of you on the road
to the next event at the moment
on your end of my life is a lot more fun than expected for us to come to them but I would be happy to hear that I am still waiting for the most beautiful day of my other spaces are the same as possible so we have a nice one in a similar way home from the best of luck with your family as we speak to each of the world
