the moon descends as i pour alone
in a blossomed glade one crock of wine
alone i pour without another to love
full goblets entreat the insightful moon
our shadow casts three mates
as the moon can't fathom a swallow
this empty reflection resembles my fate
fleeting companions - the moon leads a shadow
heralding glee - a moment as long as youth
i cheer the moon's flowing gown revue
i shamble a straggling umbra
agreed to meet quickly when we recover
elated we divide and scatter
bound forever without bonds we'll ramble
until the wee Milky Way
