Light of the moon

Could I stand with the light

of the willows 

 

and dance till sundown

biding my time

till the moon rises?

 

And what would it be like 

to be my own? Only the calla lilies 

will know why I

sing to the stars

 

the roads will still be paved

but I will laugh

till sunrise

 

knowing

 

I have

become.
