the boy in the house on the moon*

** Looking through my suitcase labelled Diary Of A Nobody, found some of my young teenage scribbles. Must have been about 13 **

ONCE upon a time
There was a house on the moon.
The boy lived in the house alone
Played football with the stars,
Built dust castles
Which reached beyond the darkness.

When he felt lonely,
He’d sit and watch
The world spinning.
He wished only to be embraced
Held tight by a lover from the sun.

And watched the world spinning.

ONE day
Chasing dreams around craters,
A spaceship landed.
Too shy to meet the strangers
The boy hid in his kitchen.

Suddenly,
A moonquake rumbled
Boy and house tumbled.
He reached out his hands
But there was no one to help him.

And the astronauts
Watched the world spinning.

# Umanoid. Much water (equally polluted and/or pure) has streamed under bridges since this was scribbled. It's akin to meeting a stranger on a rubble path. ALL STAY SAFE.
