THE MOON IS ROUND
1996 L. Fiorentino

The petals of the moon fell on her face that night
Her fortune told like feathers after an angel fight
The wind sang praises across her back til daylight
She cam down from black holding words of white

When she arrived she was from a foreign place
the children had no need to recognize
her face For they saw flowers blooming in a winter space Bubbling over with tears of joy and hands full
of grace
She told me story about the heart of the land She told me a story and pressed a stone into
my hand Smooth and warm it felt just like a friend When she disappeared I began to understand
Summers bad and beautiful followed me from there
Messages arrived and it mattered not from where Sometimes I swear I see her flying through the air Sounding like the ocean does when it drips from
my hair
She was in an old man laughing with a child She grew like the grasses tossed tufted and wild And she hid in city streets behind the faintest smile In windows, on rooftops, under side-walks dead
and tiled
Far beneath the surface is what I’m standing on The spirit serves the shell, the shell deserves the dawn Sometimes when I’m tired I’m not feeling so strong I reach for her hand and find my own and lead where I’m drawn
Long ago before I was afraid before I was found I too was a blade of grass a root deep in the ground Sometimes if I’m quiet, in the sweetness of
no sound She says’ “Don’t ever doubt yourself, the moon
is round”
