Sonnet for the Un-Wanderer

I've wuntered away all blue eyed bales of hay 
and returned with a jacket of crosses. 
Upon this good sight a flat pool abides 
by a tune of thicket and locket. 

Libation to reach and good faith beseech 
the moon and her ineffable springs 
to come sprawling right near a sweetheart so dear 
and teach her of permanent things. 

I've messed with the moon. I've messed with my head 
and I'm done with the cars and the men. 
I'm having fun now. I'm taking my bow 
til she tells me to get up again. 

Not a gap in the tide, 
not a moment too soon, 
Comes the call to face up 
and stand on the moon.
