Billy Collins on the moon

Riding the lunar eclipse made me want to paint or write poems or produce some other form of proclamation thanking god for the extraordinary creation in which we live. Since this is as close I get to that when not preaching, I turned to Billy Collins:

Moon
Invention
Man in the Moon

and from his haiku chapbook She Was Just Seventeen:
Moon in the window—
the same as it was before
there was a window.
