EFFECTS OF MOON


Break apart into
drifting rocks

set your sight
on the nearest moon.

You have released it.
It will float some

where else now
and eventually be

captured by another's
gravity until

the time that person
relinquishes,

surrendering
into fragments,

liberating the
nomadic moon,

allowing it
to continue

its pale drifting
and its occasional

nightly silvering
of alien beaches

and the wise eyes
that gaze from them.

    I quite like your poetry, it's very visual. I like this one in particular, I have a weakness for the moon.
