The Moon Walk

V3:
The Moon Walk
It’s nearly another anniversary
of the day Neil Armstrong
and Buzz Aldrin bounced
across a powdery surface,
Neil’s shadow as grainy
as the ultrasound images
of our son, 14 years later.
But this was 1969
and I was on the verge of college;
my sister had found Jesus,
and Dad had been promoted.
We were like the Apollo crew,
our footprints ahead
waiting for us.

The Moon Walk
It’s nearly another anniversary
of the day Neil Armstrong
and Buzz Aldrin bounced
across a powdery surface.
The black and white footage
of Neil’s shadow
on the lunar landscape is as grainy
as the ultrasound images
of our son, 14 years later.
But this was 1969
and I was on the verge of college;
my sister had found Jesus,
and Dad had been promoted.
We were like the Apollo crew,
our footprints ahead
waiting for us.
V1:
The Moon Walk
It’s nearly another anniversary
of the day Neil Armstrong
and Buzz Aldrin jumped
with springs in their legs
across the fine grained powdery
surface of the moon.
The black and white footage
of Neil’s shadow on the lunar
landscape is as grainy
as the ultra sound images
my wife held onto of our son
in 1983. But this was 1969
and everything was black
and white then....sputniks
versus satellites,
Giants / Dodgers.
I was on the verge of college;
my sister had found Jesus,
and Dad had been promoted.
We were like the Apollo crew,
with only one direction—up.
Our footprints ahead
waiting for us.
