6 | So it's the fucking moon. Big deal. As if \ | ||
7 | you haven't seen it before, hanging in the sky \ | ||
8 | like a piece of rotten meat nailed to the wall, | ||
9 | |||
10 | a maudlin love letter (the i's dotted with hearts) \ | ||
11 | tacked to the sky's door like ninety-eight theses. \ | ||
12 | Don't stare at it like it means anything. | ||
13 | |||
14 | Don't give it the chance to collect meaning \ | ||
15 | from your hand like an old pigeon. Don't dare ascribe \ | ||
16 | it a will, or call it fickle, or think it has any say | ||
17 | |||
18 | in your affairs. It's separated from your life \ | ||
19 | by three hundred eighty-four thousand miles of space, \ | ||
20 | the same distance you stepped away from time that night | ||
21 | |||
22 | you said your love was broken, a crippled gyroscope \ | ||
23 | knocking in the dark. It was then that time fell apart, \ | ||
24 | had a nervous breakdown and started following you | ||
25 | |||
26 | everywhere, moonfaced, always asking where you're going. \ | ||
27 | You keep trying to get away from it but it nuzzles closer \ | ||
28 | and sings you songs that sound like the cooing of a dove \ | ||
29 | that will only escape again into an empty sky at dawn. | ||
