Walking Along Euclid in Early Spring
Tonight the moon
hangs in the sky orange
and sliced like cantaloupe.
A woman stands on tiptoe
head tilted up, her tongue tip
on her lip, arms open
to that mysterious fruit in the sky.
She is trying to take a bite
and though she knows it is beyond
her reach she will always salivate
and ache for this juicy moon.
The moonlight draws the gnat
and lace-wing from the grass.
The small gray bats dart
above blooming dogwoods
and feast.
-- Jennifer Goldring
