			<poem>
			The night was clear
			as Mama's crystal cake plate
			and stinging cold

			Rabbits burrowed in
			hollow logs
			squirrels curled their
			bushy tails into muffs

			Toodle Barnes and I
			stood at the window
			of our sharecrop house
			longing to go outside
			and consult the moon

			But our coats were much
			too thin
			we dared not go
			though destiny called us
			from the glittering sky

			My younger brothers had no belief
			in a magic moonthey played dominoes by the fire
			and never saw us sneak out
			in their sheep-lined coats

			where the moon waited
			to show us its boy faces
			and let us choose from them:
			Toodle wavered between three faces
			I looked hard and made one
			irrevocable choice</poem>
