Tonight we resumed
Our simple activity
A short walk
Watching the
Horizon for
The full moon

It became a
Simple joy
Some years ago
That we do
With lunar
Regularity

Last month
We had to
Sit it out
You were so
Very sick
I wondered
Would we every get
To do this again?

So tonight was
One of those returns
To normal

But a normal
That is clear
Eyed about
The reality of
The fragility of
Your beautiful life
