Days and nights and eons ago
the sun ran away from the moon.
he went to parts unknown--the universe
he said,
was his oyster.
mama moon didn't know what he meant
but she let him go.
she knew
because mamas always know these things
that if she made him stay
his light would dim down
till there was nothing left
so
she let him go
and her heart, that once
was so strong,
so pure, it sang lullabyes to the cosmos
