We are awake and dreaming

Say, 'Hello, the moon,'
I wonder if it ever felt slighted
Loved in the dark and
only quietly
when the world
is silent and asleep.

'Good morning, the moon,
and look, there's a poet
invoking the secret muse
a mistress
embracing her vernal lover
while the world
is silent and asleep--'

while we are awake
and dreaming of you.
