How language is an asha tree, a fool that grows everywhere, a
snake shedding its skin.
A bowl of teeth. A kitchen plate of shadow & ruins, like the moon.
Moon says, “Please, god, crowd my loneliness with stars.” But the star’s
life is short compared to Moon’s.
There is always a funeral. Moon is always wearing the veil of the black
maria.
However pretty the sound, it was a misidentification,
to name the basalt basins & craters the black maria of the moon.
