‘Night Watch’ by Jordan Hege

Tonight, I saw the moon
Stalking me, watching me
Hiding surreptitiously.
She knows I know she’s there
She knows I do not care
Reasons for and reasons why
Curious, bold, or wee bit shy,
A game, perhaps she feels
So silently she steals
Tonight, I saw the moon.

Jordan Hege lives in a small rural town in southern Georgia where he grew up in a family of eight. Previously a carpenter, like his father, he now works in a specialty foods production business during the day, and pursues a psychology degree at night.
