New Moon Valentine

It’s a Manichean morning
In the time before color
Seeps into the world
 
When the white gold of the moon
From its little saucer
Pours eternity down
 
On the trembling infant
Of the world such a shy seed
The only one of its kind
 
Sometimes it wakes me up
And I go out to see it rising
Pouring and rising
 
And even if I’ve let things go too far already
I still intend to pull them back
I still want to see them through
