lnhammerIf one December someone on the Moon,
Perhaps a child, about to go back in
Seeing the surface washed with blue earthlight,
Looked up and then reached out to catch the Earth
Before remembering -- wouldn't she think
Here's heaven's ornament and, better than
A alien tree or row of candlelights,
A fitting emblem for the season there?

Used on our holiday card for 1997. I like to say that I've written exactly two actual science fiction stories; "Her First Affair" is one, and this is the other.---L.
