   You told me
   you sent me
   a message on
   the wires —
   a telegraphed
   story that tells me
   you’re tired —
   but all I can see here
   is the moon
   on an angle,
   a light in the night
   as the evening
   expires.

   Past Lense

   A bright shaft of moonlight lit my way through the darkened house this morning.
   A path amidst the darkness.

   Old light, eight minutes out from the Sun, took a bounce off the Moon and shone through my backyard window.
   A little while after.

   The past
   lights up
   the present.

   That’s how it always is,
   I guess.
   What happened earlier has lots to say
   to us
   about what’s going on right now.

   But it can be hard to see.

   And maybe even the source of that light,
   Eight minutes plus a little while after, has gone dark.
   Obliterated.
   Finished.
   And this is all we’ll ever get.

   Eight minutes
   (Plus a little while after)
   on.
   It’ll just
   go
   out.

   I should look hard while I still can.
