Bonnie’s Pond

two children lieing in a driveway look up at the stars
and he says to her, the stars always make me feel small
like there is something bigger, like I am a part of a whole
She throws her head back and laughs out loud
“people always say that when they look up at the stars
and ruin a perfectly good view with a text book cleshe”

But finally tonight, so many years on
perhaps I understand as I look up at your moon
I feel so small, a part of a whole
A very small chapter in the story of your life
cause even after all this time I was one of the ones
you thought to call and let me know to look up at the moon
