Man and the Moon

What if Earth is actually heaven

and good souls became trees that provided

breath for the living grateful 

dancing , singing in the wind

pointing skyward or

their reward stolen from them to frown

up at us from the faces

 in our furniture

no longer

 pointing

s

n

d

(see that sun?  that's where you'll go!)

...and the sun is the burning pit

that churns bad souls for all eternity

where fuel for the fire spits hot flares

blinding the naked eye.

What if the moon was purgatory

where the "not quite pure"

would circle about

half lit, half unsure.

How many of us then

Will have been

the man

on the moon.
