the white plate of moon

the ice was slick
and
black in the quiet
darkness

of night.
no wonder i slipped.

and fell with nothing
to grab onto,
no loved one near
to catch me,

so down i went.

but nothing broke
no cuts
no bruises to speak of.

and as i lie there alone
i looked up at the sky.
the clouds

opening slowly
to reveal the stars,
the white plate of moon,

i thought
how wonderful things
appeared

from this point of view.
