There is much to like in this short poem. You use “ever” in a creative way but it makes sense and leads the reader into the image of drinking “the Moon.” The idea that this is done when “no one is looking,” makes the reader wonder about the secrecy. But the persona seems to have undergone a transformation, “washed clean.”

Thank you. So glad you liked it. That use of ever came while I was fumbling over something else …
Every line is perfect. Returning is the hard part…
Thank you! Yes. Returning is not as wonderful as we might want to think …
