And the moon knocked on the doors of darkness
_____
"Let me in," he said no
_____
And the moon knocked where there was silence
_____
But a raucous voice said, "It's too late"
_____
So she flung open the wind's windows and went away
_____
For another no, for another no
_____
And the moon knocked on a pair of sunglasses
_____
That look didn't notice her
_____
And then she tried at a pool party
_____
Without an invite, not even the moon gets in
_____
So she rolled over champagne and caviar and went away
_____
To look a bit farther
_____
After crying a bit for another no
_____
For another no from a waiter
_____
Where what you see is real
_____
Between a child's lashes
_____
To be able to fall asleep
_____
Closer to the sidewalks
_____
Where what you see is real
_____
Between a child's lashes
_____
To be able to fall asleep
_____
Where luck is a luxury
