Some say

A love letter

some say that that the Moon is a mystical feminine spectral of lunar beauty

But I know better

You, mystical Adam of red meat bone & girth

You move me—-I’m dizzy, I’m under your sweltering magic

Like sonar in the sea, your moonlight has sacrificed itself inside of my pulpy mass

The burning veins that obey your machinations

How are you so high

As I am so low

It’s unfair how terribly my pulpy, soft insides twist when you move so close

Eternally close, fearfully far

Some say the poet goes mad writing to you

My Moon, I know better
