What He Did With the Moon Tonight
By Lindsay Illich
What he did with the moon
tonight was he
pressed her through a sieve,
and out came the blazoned
bones scattering
across the floor of sky.
What he didn't count on
was the unintended consequence
of losing her light, the stars
coupling, their penurious
leaning into each other's
gravity, burning up
with the need to shine.
