Moon

---

The Moon is the promise of the Sun

Fear not, tomorrow will come

Just look at its

Astonished face

Locked in place

To think

It cannot look away

Not once

Forgive us…

Some things

Are unspeakable

Even in reflection

---

I bathed in moonbeams last night

Showered in its fulgent light

A man shaped moonflower

Stared up from out

This deep dark well

Struck dumb in ignorance

As weightless wisdom

Irradiated me

To my marrow

Like x-rays

(I’m bones
Dem bones, dem dry bones)

Rendered transparent

Stupefied in starlight

That sees through everything
