Small Stone: Full Moon

You are full and high in the early morning, still night sky. I take my coffee out to the patio–the dogs have been fed so Sam is back in the big bed asleep and Dexter waits for me with his baby, and neither one comes out with me. I stand on the cold concrete, sipping hot coffee and looking up. You are so bright, the sky looks more blue than black, the trees make shadows on the lawn, and the stars aren’t as bright. It’s cold and I can’t stay for the whole cup, but it’s enough to notice and to wake up a bit.
