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.”
