tonight

The moon is beautiful every night

If I do mention, it lights us

all day long, all night long

Below his head bends over

there will be a pile of cigarettes

a pile of thoughts with no conclusion

He always goes “check this out”

as he lets me put my head up

Surely he’s got many conclusions before

and he’s got even bigger arms to hold

all the different conclusions and all the wrongs

The moon is beautiful every moment

as it laughs, cries, and begs to us

And, I like to

listen to the stories

he brings into my life

And, I don’t mind

the smokes

there won’t be any conclusions

At least, we know

the moon is beautiful tonight
