17So it's the [fucking moon][]. Big deal. As if \
18you haven't seen it before, hanging in the sky \
19like a piece of [rotten meat][] nailed to the wall,
20
21a maudlin love letter (the i's dotted with [hearts][]) \
22tacked to the sky's door like ninety-eight theses. \
23Don't stare at it like it means anything.
24
25Don't give it the chance to collect meaning \
26from your hand like an old pigeon. Don't dare ascribe \
27it a will, or call it fickle, or think it has any say
28
29in your affairs. It's separated from your life \
30by three hundred eighty-four thousand miles of space, \
31the same distance you stepped away from time that night
32
33you said your love was broken, a crippled gyroscope \
34knocking in the dark. It was then that time fell apart, \
35had a nervous breakdown and started following you
36
37everywhere, moonfaced, always asking where you're going. \
38You keep trying to get away from it but it nuzzles closer \
39and sings you songs that sound like the cooing of a dove \
40that will only escape again into an empty sky at dawn.
