Out of Moonlight

by A.J. Huffman

Teddy bear eyes.
Teddy bear smile.
So soft.
So innocent.
So kind.
Though not mine.
They do not see me.
Be glad.
I can crack
the softest shell
Fur and all.
Sending it flying.
Falling.
Back through time.
Before the light.
When meeting was still a touch.
Beyond stuffed.
And triggered.
To explode.
At Hello.
