SO CLOSE!

“Moon Thom” Woodruff

You could reach up, and pluck this apple from the stars
So near-never in our little lives had we been so astrally aligned!
Since 1948-before our generational group memory
Before text and Tweet and meme and Instagram
Before web and digital photograph and satellite dog
Moon in orbit seemed illusion ours (our one and only)
Apple sky and evening planets, stars in constellations
Galaxies unfolding like a 3D, 4G Mercator Map
We are still a dot in the pointillist sky landscape
She is still Huge, close, turning and slow turning
in a poetry that does not need words
but sings in grey dust pock marked song
“I AM YOUR MOON!” We heard-and took a photograph
Sent another satellite to crash into her craters
“One day” (we say-) “We will have a moon base!”
Is that a man on the moon? Flag waving?
