moongaze
gazing skywards on a clear night
i spotted the moon
lo behold! she had a daughter by her side
shining and sparkling
she bore all signs
of a nocturnal clandestine consummation
with a superstar from another universe

the daughter it seems
was the seed of maverick planets
with fireworks for hair
a smile to douse a thousand suns
eyes that welled up with springs of eternal soothing
God and his angels watched
with open mouths and rapt heavenly attention
and threw orchid confetti from their front row seats
