It is early Autumn, but it feels like July in the Midwest
Hot and steamy well after dark,
summer hangs on, a guest that came early and won't leave
tonight I saw the moon, bright yellow
drifting in and out of clouds
it was not announced as Summer's last full moon, but it is
On the other side of the World
Australia is getting ready for Spring
On the other side of the ocean
London is crawling out of bed, getting ready for work
On the other side of the state, near Des Moines
she is looking out her kitchen window, watching the same moon,
touching the glass, knowing I am doing the same
