Lasso the Moon (rewrite)A Poem by clisaA rewrite of a poem I wrote last year
I stand on an ocean shore,
"Lasso the moon," I ask Neptune. Golden chains stretch into the sky where the full moon hangs round and lovely it grows larger larger still I can feel its weight begin to press on gravity pushing me down closer closer it comes revealing craters footprints and flags oxygen rushes away as the moon draws close gasping I stand on tiptoe brushing the rocky surface with fingertips then it rushes back and air fills my lungs gasping I watch it grow smaller smaller smaller still hanging again in its rightful place as water rushes back into tide around my feet Neptune laughs before sinking beneath the sea
