Meeting
by Alan Harris
Letters to mail
and a twilit beckon
from the dimming sky
tempted tonight
my walk to the mailbox
that never seems
to come to me.
At my first turn
the fat, lop-lit moon
shouldered me
and whispered,
"I'm here with you,
never not here.
Turn you to dust
or turn you to ash,
I will be here."
I mailed my letters
and walked for home.
So simply it came to be—
my ageless friend and me
slipping past tree and tree.
From the book
Flies on the Ceiling
(1999)
