go, go, moon is rising
Wednesday, October 24th, 2018 11:27 pmLeaving work, turning onto this one road,
BOOM there is the ~MOON~
right above the trees at the end of road
towards which I drive,
the biggest Moon I've ever seen.
Orange tinted.
Big enough for my eyes to scan left, right
looking at its details,
thinking to myself, yes, this is surely larger
than usual. So much larger.
I wanted to stop in a parking lot to take a photo
of the Awesomeness.
But when I got there, the moon was gone.
So instead, I turned onto the other road,
glancing to my left again and again,
waiting for it to reappear.
Finally.
Still hovering near the tree-line,
but small now, and distant.
You will never convince me
that the moon does not change size
Logically, I know it doesn't.
But my eyes have SEEN.
They have swept across the face of the moon,
left and right.
