GOODNIGHT LUNA

by Eric Schulman

(With respect to Margaret Wise Brown marvelous words).

Goodnight Luna.

Goodnight spacecraft orbiting Luna.

Goodnight Chang’e,

And the Lunokhod rovers.

Goodnight norite.

Goodnight dunite.

Goodnight granophyre,

And goodnight vitrophyre.

Goodnight olivine,

And goodnight pyroxene.

Goodnight gabbronorite,

And goodnight labradorite.

Goodnight orthoclase,

And goodnight anorthosite.

Goodnight hypersthene,

Goodnight troctolite,

And goodnight to the reflectors waiting for light.

Goodnight Surveyor.

Goodnight Ranger.

Goodnight landers everywhere.
