Are you looking at this too?
It's so small. Almost invisible.
Don't worry, I'm not going soft on you.
I'm just saying, there's a slice of moon
in both our skies. It's a white smile
on its side, a nail clipping, a calcium slight.
I'm describing it in case your eyes are closed,
or you're elsewhere, engaged, distracted,
indisposed. In case you're sitting on something,
or someone.
In case you've forgotten.
In case you think you've got away.
In case she reminds you of home.
In case you're ironing your clothes
to go places you would never go with me.
-Lisa Matthews, Postcard from the Moon
