Move Me by the Moon

Move me by the moon
Just pick me up
And set me down an inch or two to the side
I want to feel you close
And I’ve been staring for much too long
Bothered by tiny things
— are you able to liberate me?
Unlatch the gate at my throat
That has kept my voice out
Of playing catch in the most beautiful yard
With the friendliest company
— can you help me speak?
Lean in on the salty air
That’s stuck to my face and hair
Breathe in and out
Feel that you exist well
Among a people who
Don’t always make it
Past the knowledge of possibility
— do you know you’ve moved me?
