Toot

My first husband was a water #buffalo. On our wedding night, I saw the full moon reflected in his eyes...and fell in love with it.

The moon being beyond my reach, I pursued an astronaut instead. "You're making a mistake," my husband said as he signed the divorce papers.

He was right. The astronaut had been to space, but his eyes held no moonlight.

"So this is regret," I said, watching the water buffalo grazing at sunset. He looked up, eyes brimming with moonlight.
