Irritation

As you fly

into view I catch

this planet's random grace

which surrounds us

Breathing heavy after

moon rays across our skin

                            They fall in

slender wires

etched against the

green plants green light

They fall sadly to the floor

bigger than

something that could

feel power

two years ago

You perceive the plan

of the moon

You don't even have to ask
