Today I thought it time to write this down,

Beyond decoration, humble, in plain rhyme,

As clear as I could, and as truthful, which I have done.

The Moon in Charge

Tonight a gale that scattered ships like grass

Makes twigs twitch. Fields stay flat

Under winds arrived from seas they dug

Keel-deep, made white

Panes in the wheel-house hiss like pans…

The moon, presiding also over green turmoil

Appears to skid and stop, in a gold piazza of

Pigeons sleeping, dreaming of feather-massage:

As a girl, shoving through crowds towards her lover,

Who stands alone in a quiet square,

When she sees him slows,

Stops, remembers, with the strange half-smile of ancient statues.
