the theory of a falling moon


the moon is the fifth moon

four others came

burning down creating

ice-age after ice-age

& now this

temperate sanity

with the solid fifth moon

the one we stepped upon

spoke from

formed thoughts on

& left

cum-stained

humanized.   there are

remnants of the four

other moons

deep under particular

bedrock shell & sandstone

we won't ever realize

this mystery

we'll watch the moon

grow like a mushroom-

headed giant swaying

on a cosmic stem of

neurons necking within

the capacity for brains.

cum splurts from an open

lip,

rolls out of its dark glandular

bed & erupts like sledgehammered

hives of honey

that sweet

that loud

in the sunlight

bees by the millions



oh no snow


when ann came home

around 5 it was

bad, white-outs,

so windy, all you

cld see

were headlights

when you get close

to another car

ann whipped off

her black scarf


that was 5 hours

ago.   she's asleep

now, slurry from

a little too much

rolling rock

a little too early

too quickly

drunk.

she gulped,

i napped,


& the snow,

yes, comes & goes,

breaking up over

the lake, huge

cold-air mass

rolling down

from north

canada,

hanging here

swirling patches


of lake-effect

snow

& the wind,

yes,

drifts,

our old maroon buick

down in the parkinglot

is half-snow

half-car.

news is saying half a


foot overnight

is to be

expected.

hhmmmm.

i have guzzled

2 large mugs

of coffee

& it's 10

at night.

i can take


my pipe,

look out

the window

all night

alone

oh ann might

wake

if she has

to pee

which is always possible


it's been

a long time

we've stared

out the window

until dawn

in a pre-dawn

stone

with snow

pelting

earth with an


afghan

of cotton fluff

& feathers

our heads are

full of feathers

& snow

we've seen

sea-gulls

flying in the middle of

snow-squalls


weird

weird

very

goddamn

weird

& i consider

how ugly

& vulgar a

thing like

terrorists poisoning


snowfall.

we prophetically

imagine

horrible

scenes

apocalpyse

mayhem

death

& dis-

order.


we see

jesus

appear

from

the center

of a rapidly-

melting

snow-

man

night is white light.



the sky


we wiggle our lives

like upturned anemone

toes jellied with sea-water

flesh.   deep underwater,

in the dark,

rarely seen.   a lemon

is sliced like a lady.

crawdaddy backs off

under a rock

crawdaddy becomes

the color of that rock.
