Lady of the Midnight Snack

I dedicate this poem to you

who eats

in the middle of the night


the moon’s absence

goes unnoticed

because you light up


and I am drawn

to you,


whose joy it is

to partake and

consume


To be left

speechless I sit

and stare


How lucky I am

to be in this space

in which you

experience


gladness


through a meal

with a bite


therefore


this poem I dedicate

to you alone


lady

of the midnight snack
