with sheryl, outside centennial wyoming
open range
long grass full moon
haloing clouds blue
shoulder of mountains
two rails catch the moon
wind through the grass
silver lines, disjoined
except in the moon's touch
we are small tonight
our words almost too quiet
to pass between us
but something in the luminescence
of your skin
your eyes
the seed swaying heavy
around us on its stem
makes sense
of what is still dark
we shine
where this moon
rides us
where we're worn smooth
with shared use
