Moonstruck



The moon opens
his laughing Buddha mouth,
pumps me full
of tides and sky.

Dreams from a cratered bowl,
gold and overgrown,
swim circles
of unrequited sleep.

I paddle tree-lined,
camera-shy ―
desirous of secret rivers,
ungrounded culverts.

At dawn, he holds a up a mirror.
I look just like him ―
round-faced,
crescent-eyed.
