Dark Sky
The moon sets around midnight, and
my friend slaps my arms and
asks, Do you want to go
over the rooftops?
But I’m not even halfway to ready, so
I stay where I am
and watch them jumping,
coming closer and closer
to taking flight with each leap
It won’t be tonight
but it’ll happen soon
they’ll land in the air and stick there
like the whales returning to the sea
and all I will ever see of them afterwards
is the long curve of their wake
through the clouds and
maybe, just as the moon is setting,
a single wave
from a broad, bright wing.
