the universe and her, and I (poem #83)

She was constantly  i n t r i g u e d 
by things most people never think baout

that is why I  n e e d e d  her
to be the things I couldn't

She always told me
how the  m o o n  is the universe's silence

and that so many people
feel connected to it
because they can  r e l a t e

In her words
it was as if the moon was pulling at her

Pulling
because humans just did not understand
and it was the universe's way of saying

' you are not  a l o n e  in this '
