New Moon
Last night, a sliver of silver low on the horizon, above the sea;
The moon visible through the clear sliding door of my patio
but couldn’t wish on it, not through glass – bad luck!
So eyes-down I opened the door, stepped out bare-feet on concrete
past the patio setting, minding the balls Sonja has strewn
and stood, out in the cool (now Autumn) air and wished.
Can’t tell you what I wished for or it won’t come true – it’s not for me.
I am lucky in love. My family are healthy and happy, I have you.
All that I need. So how could I possibly ask for more, for me?
