At last,
they finished the tightrope
to the moon.
We walked on out our
window, and after some time
our shadows upon the earth were as
long and distant as a comet’s tail.
We reached the moon and
strolled down her blue
unpaved boulevards,
and shopped in her
round empty windows,
and slept on her cool stone fields.
From a dewless savanna
we watched the world rise
half dark, turning like a sonnet
between sudden moonlight
and white dawn,
and we wondered what
new was burning.
