On seeing the panorama of the Apollo 11 landing site

+ + +
+ +
+
+ +
+ + + +
+ +
+

So it’s the fucking moon. Big deal. As ifyou haven’t seen it before, tacked to the skylike a rotten hunk of meat, a maudlin love

+

letter (the _i_s dotted with hearts) hungon the sky like ninety-eight theses.Don’t stare at it like it means anything.

+

Walk past it quickly, eyes averted.Don’t give it the chance to collect meaningfrom your outstretched hand like a pigeon.

+

Ascribing it a will, calling it fickle, orthinking it has any say or even an opinionof your affairs is a mistake: it’s separated

+

from you by three hundred eighty thousand milesof emptiness, staring at you blankly like a childor your reflection when you found your love broken

+

in the dark, when time fell apart, broke down,started following you around everywhere, moonfaced,doggedly asking where you’re going, like you know.

+

Don’t try side stepping time, either: it’s onlya river you’re stuck in, carrying you under the glareof the moon nuzzling closer, cooing in your ear

+

like a dove that escapes into the empty sky at dawn.
