CATCHING THE MOON.
I thought I'd catch the moon tonight,
it winked at me through willow herb
bare branches too,
reflecting on the liquorice river,
like a light bulb in the sky.
It shone upon a horde of strangely silent ducks
who were content to float
and dream, safe from the hunter's gun,
oblivious to one who shared their soliloquy
and caught the smiling moon.
