"Luna Rayne" by Susan Michalski
I hold this tiny thought
in my fist
if my moon girl could
she'd dance
through the storm puddles
left behind
in my next dream
and sing like rain
on canvas
for one brilliant moment
as I recall
The lonely image of the moon
The feeling of anger like a fist
The feeling of being in a dream
The feeling of living in memories
The feeling of joy one has when dancing
