Stolen Light

byoneiria©

The girl stared transfixed
at the full moon

as it rose in the red smog
to watch over the skeleton

of a factory abandoned
long before her birth.

She wanted to pluck it
from the foul sky

and keep it in her pocket,
but moons are fickle mothers

who ebb into nonexistence and vanish
in the harsh light of day.
