See what a little moonlight can do to you? - Hone Tuwhare

See what a little moonlight can do to you?
- Hone Tuwhare

The moon is a gondola.
It has stopped rocking.
Yes. It’s stopped now.

And to this high plateau
its stunning influence
on surge and loll of tides
within us should

somehow not go
unremarked
for want of breath
or oxygen.

And if I
to that magic micro-second
instant
involuntary arms reach out
to touch……detain

then surely
it is because you
are so good:
so very good to me.
