The Moon

Celestial ornament,

Dead rock,

Our only moon.

Imagine there were two?
Or three, or four?

Little local planet,
You have a place in this solar system,
Lest we forget,
You block out the sun.

We had to make the journey 
In 1969,

It was planetary love.

Will we ever forget
That giant leap?

Some howl,

Some gaze,

Some moon.
