Celestial Lessons
Two in the morning
the raccoons and I watch each other warily
while they eat and I type
crunch of dry cat food
click of the keyboard
even the birds are asleep.
My mind however, is not quiet in the early morning.
Racing around corners of my psyche
and hoarding loyalty
is hard work that pierces the mind.
gentle words will come
like sequestered thoughts
the moon is a good listener.
