Elucidating Questions

The fires are burning within the red moon,

The dusty surface of the far away red light.

Large and setting

The red one seems white

The white one seems red

Sinking into the other side

Between them silently a daily war fought,

The moon set aflame by the fear and the wondering.

The other hides its true face behind smoke and dust.

Goodnight,

I want to say.

I love you,

I want to say.

I miss you. You’re adorable. I want to say,

Instead,

The moon sets alone and

A simple mistake,

Snatches the chances of home away.
