Stories from Jan Zwicky

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011
Moon, there you are again,
solo in the pale blue sky.
I agree it’s strange,
the way I stare.
The snow on the mountains
is as white, their dark rock
as remote. I, too,
said goodbye to the earth
long ago.
But, you see,
I touch it still.
With my hands, my feet. My eyes.
