for my room mate.

[shamrocknrollx]

i wonder if she was holding the moon to make the waves strong enough to hold me
or to make the night long enough for lovers
or to let that mother sleep
a little longer
i bet
it was something selfless
like that

i saw a panda holding a boomerang shaped moon once
i said "chuck it far! watch it come back!"

but she didn't throw it,
( cos she doesn't throw things. )
and she is not careless with magic.
nor reckless with miracles.

she held onto it like i wish
i couldv'e held onto my freckles
(i regretted them once, until they disappeared).

some people don't know beauty
even when its sitting on their face
or in their selfish arms

but pandas do.
cos they don't let go of moons
they believe in comets, cicadas, and leap years

she told me this just by holding my hand once

i am thoughtless with the sky sometimes
i let the sun burn me
and sometimes i forget to wish on stars
when they're just waiting to be prayed to
i wish i could kill gravity
so you could float on, like you do
i wish i could be a panda holding a boomerang moon.
with enough love not to doubt
to always believe in kindness

rare enough to be special
and important enough
for the whole human race to encourage my reproduction
so there could be more
just like me

with enough love not to doubt
to always believe in kindness

and to always hold onto moons
because that could change the world

she was a giant panda
but only because she meant so much to me.
