The moon is a sealed coffin
A boast
The moon of poets
The moon of dogs
The moon of ovaries
The moon of astronauts
The invisible moon
Knived
Sick
Yellow
Waning
Moon-wreath of everyday
Moon of gallows
Moon-spider
Moon-Coin
Moon-flag
Twenty-eight eights of moon
Nailed on Calendars
And on the walls of memory.
