Jennifer’s moonlit romance verses capture love, introspection, and night sky beauty, exclusively for Different Truths.

the waves from your boat
lulled us to sleep on our
Paris honeymoon

***

interconnected
they pull on my heartstrings – 
the moon, the waves

***

my tongue ties the stem 
from a maraschino cherry
into a knot

***

walking downstairs into
a freshly cleaned house I have
imposter syndrome

***

I have been falling

more in love with the moon
ever since we first met

***

the stars, the moon
the waves and I
nighttime companions
