To set out be not to set
As the sun set, you went out
With the promise to set out
As the moon to dispel my doubt,
The night when you left me.
A few full-moons you sent out.
On that day
The moon failed to turn out.
An eclipse? A cloudy night?
If so, for the next
I shall wait.
If otherwise
It is a romantic death.
No harm to the moon
If not shown or shone.
It is the objects
Which will be lorn.
