Sir Moon

By Katie Hurwitz

Sir moon in the sky

Do your tide-moving capacities determine my lunacy?


For you are the natural light

In a black room with hiding souls


Or is it the madame sun behind you?

The secret to your seeming radiance


She hides her soul while melting humbly into flaming orange

And sets sleepily into a part of you


Master of midnight

Guide me to

Sleep without dreams


Nourish me with timeless rest

Under cloths of my own warmth

Without subconscious stories distracting


Noble of noon

Let me

Dream without sleep


Inspire me to write my own wishes

While gazing at the blur of your shadows under the sycamore tree

Without forgetting the climax


Sir and madame

Sun and moon

Sleep and memories


For if sun with moon

And moon with sun

Are one

Let me dream with sleep

Sleep with dreams
