moon & sun

Linda M. Crate

i remember climbing mountains
clinging to the arms
of dreams that seem so distant now
dreams of you & i,
but they didn’t come true;
i thank heaven for that every day
because you’re a thorn even a rose would
reject—
“je voudrais ne vous avoir jamais rencontré.”
since you always wanted me to
learn french i thought you might appreciate
a phrase in your native tongue,
but don’t expect an encore
because i am a prince that you never could afford;
you are a distant and dying sun
i am the moon lighting up the universe in night
dancing it in the softest of silver whispers
listening as you never could.
