It will rest in my belly for the evening.
When I open my mouth, sunlight will enter and reflect off the surface.
The light will shine through my skin, ears, eyes.
When people see me they will say,
Look at that girl, she has swallowed the moon. So selfish is she.
I will lift into orbit and begin revolving around the Earth.
I will stay there, a satellite.
When I get lonely, I will expel la Luna and drift back to the surface.
I will be known as the girl who swallowed the moon, which is ok, because I will know that I had seen things they could only imagine.
