Stolen Moons for Foster Siblings

Makassar treasures shipped to
Stalwart doting islands
Adrift among doctored ports
Like lovers in the abyssopelagic
Sober moons – brother
Sister – White House moons,
Stolen for a banquet that only appears in dreams
Disaffiliated remorse for the former
Indoctrinated preparations for the latter
The dreams stay with you
Long after the hope is gone
When faith is weak, hope is far
Stolen moons for being too close to a star
