quarrel
why fight about
the right amount of light?
come to bed already,
winter’s sky moves
grey and steady,
grown children,
staining satin sheets,
mixing peanut butter with jelly,
hush…
fewer words
to be spoken,
for in this
self-same moment,
no one could
venture to know
the difference of glow
between the moon and the sun.
