WOUNDED MOON
Flower Moon of May
rises full
and fiery red
but wounded now,
slammed a week earlier
by a space rock
traveling 56,000 miles an hour,
creating a 65-ft crater,
flash seen from Earth,
but damage not visible tonight.
Next life I’m going
to live on the Moon,
design a system
to deflect incoming meteoroids
and a second to quickly
fill in craters
when the first one fails.
