Moonrise over Montana
Alissa Sammarco
Big skies. Bigger than Texas in the summer.
Bigger than the ocean while floating on a tanker out over the Marianna Trench
Bigger than a bull in a China shop
Bigger than Soho serenades of sirens and honking and words thrown across the streets
Bigger than champaign cocktails
Bigger than chilled king crab legs reaching over the serving tray sides to catch someone’s wig
Bigger than air and sky and stars
Bigger than a slipstream across the sky, a rip tide in the surf, an undertow
Bigger than a kid’s eyes in a candy store
Bigger than rolling downhill until you’re so dizzy you can’t breathe
Bigger than you
Bigger than me
Bigger than us
