The moon is low and red."

I don’t want to be so sad. I read that you should think of your emotions like everyday objects. I tried it out with a ballpoint pen. I held it, and I pretended that it was my sadness. I rolled it back and forth on my palm. See, it moves! I dropped it. See, it’s just a thing I can drop! But I still felt sad afterward.
— Sylvie Baumgartel, from Song of Songs: A Poem
