If I Had Taken the Ride

By Theresa McLaren

you offered
I would have missed the sun set
missed the moon rise
and the geese


the honk and squawk that broke
day into night
the V that stirred the sky
from blue to salmon


I would have missed my moon shadow
cloaked in navy blue
that followed me home
and stayed the night
