Especially the ending. This:
But maybe, just maybe,
one day the moon
howls back.
Have you
considered
that?
It provides excellent follow-up, contrast, to what precedes it, and gives the blatant wordiness of the previous strophe sense and purpose.
I don't understand the line construction of the last strophe, the reason to break it that way. It seems to me it would be more effective as one line.
You always provide enjoyable reading.
Ya, ya what TRM said and more. ;)
I like the flow of this, the way it sounds. I even think the formatting (line breaks) are attractive.
