In the Skin
A Bighead Moon Poem
text copyright © 2002 - 2012 Peter Thorpe

I am an atom
an atom of flesh
between two of stone
at home in the molecule

I float walk and bounce
and dance in this house
gravity is good to me

I am this thing
this thing that I made
by coming here
on purpose

To move through a vein
in the skin
of the Moon
