LETTER
Tonight, as you walk out
into the stars, or the forest, or the city, look up
as you must have looked before love came, before love went, before ash was ash.
Look at them: the city's mists, the winters.
And the moon's glass you must have held once in the beginning.
That new moon
you must have touched once in the waters, saying change me, change me, change me. All I want is to be more of what I am.
