Mother

Mother moon, your light precedes you.
Skirting through the City to keep you
Bobbing in sight above the towers.
Stop winking at me, you tease.
The street lamps eyes are narrowing in envy.
And I know. You’re looking increasingly beautiful
Especially tonight. And what you’re telling me
Smiling bright and wondrous, (Northern accent):
“You’re gonna be alright, lass.”
