the moon will be eclipsed tonight
and I will think of you
of youth and spring
and dew and baseball fields
a comet will cross the sky
and I will think of you
of brevity and intensity
and unfinished plans
the stars will appear like every other night
and I will think of you
and others too
and time as it passes
the sun will rise in the morning
and I will not see it join the day
because I will be sleeping late
because I do not sleep well at night
because I think of you
and others too
and time as it passes
