• Moon Practice
• it’s lonely tonight on earth
• waiting for sunrise
• i speak my smallest thoughts
• to my waning correspondences
• i sit in a chair silently
• and stretch my pale muscles
• i turn toward patience slowly
• unlearn indoctrinations
• stare into my throat through a mirror
• these belong to everybody:
• the moon in virgo
• the ache in my cheeks
• the nervous orbits of my eyeballs
• i'd like to be a moon like Ganymede
• silver coins kissed into my mouth
• my surface whipped into icy froth
• by the solar wind
