Carefully wash

Outside, the full moon.

Inside, my daughter, The Little Prince, lamplight and me.

"'It's a question of discipline,' the little prince informed me later on. 'When you finish washing and dressing each morning, you must carefully wash and dress your planet. . . '"

And do read this beautiful piece - Moonlight, Dog, Bell - by Mark Doty.
