Moon Poem

Moon Poem
by CX Dillhunt

It’s not binoculars, telescope, any eyes you need
to see the moon in motion —
it’s ears — hear the moon slowly

grinding

to a halt
at each boundary — surely,
a heavenly body wants to please

— to sing, to hear

movement —

to stop
to go endlessly, boundlessly precisely — wants us to
hear the clicking clacking clocking along

attaching

to horizon after
horizon — with  you
the time to

listen
