life

form?

Foetus

cell

protein?

worm

its the moon

beheld by a shaky hand

shot with a digital Canon

on an eclipse

by its bigger brother

my mother

earth

after the moon
left its iron behind on earth

after its crash
we had a field of magnets

that kept the cosmos

from touching us with its rays

and from that gift of iron

the moon made life its gift

and legacy
