Verse: instructions

put the moon
where there is
no moon

on a sidewalk
or a ceiling
or in the soil

or draw
a heart
on your palm

shake hands
with every stranger
that you encounter

dream
with your eyes
wide open

project them
on walls
even if no one is looking

tell secrets
your secrets
make them the custodians

introduce
the night sky
to the scent of lilac

or add to this
whatever you feel
is missing.
