Sleeping with the moon

Sleeping with the moon
	streaking with stars
	changing
	colors
	how many shades of yellow
	sometimes blue
	changing
	shape
	how many crescents 
	in a full circle
Sleeping with the moon
	its other 
	hidden
	black absorbing
	face
	changing
	a chameleon or a clown
	a smile or a frown
Sleeping with the moon
	you said I was lunar
	because I was eccentric
	are you lunar too
Sleeping with the moon
	lying in bed
Sleeping with the moon
	in Texas
Sleeping with the moon
	in New York
	Mississippi and New Orleans
	in between
Sleeping with the moon
