A LOVE SONG OF THE MOON
sideways drift
long bones curve
surprising silk,
always surprising
sideways drift
lilt
dream eyelid smile
opening pale, lucent
slip slow
foam falling
drip,dribble
one drop
viscous, sweet
night falling in
acres: time blankets
enfolding white
silent gasp, always,
always
ever is
slightly vanishing
hidden, certain,
downwards
long-boned,
spine line
tingle-tipped
inward curve,
coved, curled
combed, covered,
feathered
sigh breathing
bell
snow cold
melting, settling,
melting
