"and if I spread my fingers the moon’s light would soften"

that if I open the window
and hold out my hand
it would feel moonlight
delicate and invisibly soft
and if I spread my fingers
the moon’s light would soften
even more as it gently falls
the rest of the way down
to the snow-covered earth
and simply whiten the snow
even more than it actually is
and be welcomed
almost as if it had never gone away
to look for a home away from home
