Untitled ("The Moon did not leave the canyon")

By Jack Joseph Smith

The Moon did not leave the canyon even when you thought it should have been the Sun I am finished with the Moonlight Evern though it makes no judgement I am hert by the Sun Though I know It it is my life I traveled everywhere with him One half mile fence Me in the pot I was with him There again down the road In that terrible truck To myself I would say "don't go" Hell and High water, maybe I did fall in love later on

The speaker contrasts moonlight with the sun, recalls travel with a man and an inward request not to go, and leaves falling in love as a possibility.

The speaker describes the sky, a fence, and travel in a terrible truck without identifying a single journey. The final maybe leaves the account of love uncertain.

The poem says 'The Moon did not leave the canyon', 'I am hert by the Sun', 'I traveled everywhere with him', 'In that terrible truck', '"don't go"', and ends 'maybe I did fall in love / later on'.

Moon and sun frame a memory of traveling with someone and a love recognized only later. 'Evern', 'hert' and 'It it' are typed forms.
