a poem in my pocket

i look up as half~moon looks down like…

…shiny cat’s eye blinks through clouds, prowling night sky

…textured pearl peeks from buttonhole in velvet evening jacket

…half~eaten cookie left on God’s midnight marble countertop

…broken frisbee dropped by angels playing constellation disc golf

…abandoned baby bib lying on floor among milk-splattered stars

…bright coin slipping into slot of heavenly vending machine

…sleepy headlight on black coupe driving home past curfew
