FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

you know about things
unspoken
not because we have not seen
or touched them
but because we have experienced
how our touch
destroys them
how our stares seduce them
into us
how we have drawn them to our sides
how they wished they live with us
only to be left out
under the rain on that dark night
when cold begins to
freeze the magnanimity
of our hands.
