Moonscapes

out here it pays well


                                                                            like cattle in trucks nameless
                                                                            unmarked


                          an arched emerald opening where night comes through


what thought reflects returns to scale


                                                   does this too pour back


the creatures return, precise in their hiddenness            what did you come for


overlooked, a white splinter, the gaps of seeing purposeful


                                                                                      five birches, their shadows various


                                                   this part of yourself


less an issue of noticing or unnoticing


                                                                                      a luminosity blotted, untraceable
