Moon Light

Absolutely 

I fall in love

nearly every day 

so I am glad 

that you feel the same

and that you have no regrets

and no plans to change

lifelong.

Tonight

I plan to be in love

with the moon

and the music of the shakuhachi

and I will be exalted

more by the desire for those things

than by the sake cup

or the sigh of the night

over my moon-white skin.

Watch me grow

more luminous

when I am touched by love

watch me fill up with joy

there is nothing in our lives

that can match it.

I am in love

with how my friend laughs

with these Facebook messages

with the song of the Hurdy-gurdy 

played by a girl that I will never know

on the internet

with the wisdom and tenderness

that each of you

mixes into the cup

for me to drink.
