Here's another entry...poetry was never my strong suite! Certainly not =
Suessian! Maybe a haiku on steroids?? Did it need to on Bensour??

=20

=20

DAG 262/400

=20

My moon glowed soft yellow

 in the quiet of that night,

I yearn to touch her face=20

 to at least know my embrace

But in the airless moonscape,=20

 mares dark, highlands light,

My ten-year old self did squint to see=20

 no clouds or dust,

 a stone-cold world=20

 through this telescopic sight.

=20

A flash of light!..., maybe two or even three,

 (some play on my memory=E2=80=99s misery??)

 Some dust, some haziness,=20

 a puff of debris??

I witnessed some life on this cold-hearted orb??

Brings wild dreams of moon meteorites

 To rain on my roof,=20

 what imagined true delight!

=20

Years later I see my tektites and learn

 How some did once yearn

 To believe these glass pieces=20

 were tears of my moon..

 I caress their belief=20

 then dismiss their hard wishes

 In favor of my own wishes=20

 for Apollo dust,=20

 or even just Russian Luna rust.

=20

The day did finally at long last arrive=20

 as chips and specks of DAGs did beckon

 to awake the desire and the fire=20

 for me alone to reckon.

Now I sit quite broken of funds,

 but I have my speck of moon in hand,=20

 Even while I hope a larger chunk to land,

 So I needn=E2=80=99t squint so hard=20

 through my microscopic sight!

How to embrace a grain of sand???????
