What we live with
She is a circle im the sun
She is a rainbow around the Moon

When it is rainy too
What ar ya gonna do
After the ends of thid

"Molly" turns a woman into celestial weather, a circle in the sun and a rainbow around the moon whose clarity survives rain and even the imagined end of things.
The poem's cosmology is intimate rather than grand, making Molly visible through rare signs that still feel personal. Saying the full vision was only seen once does not weaken it; it makes that moment sufficient for everything that follows. The last question gives the poem its looseness and nerve, as if devotion has already outlived whatever ending is coming.

Molly (shorter): rainbow around the Moon completely seen once. The line breaks abruptly mid-thought after the ends of thid.
