the only way the moon can rise
the only way the moon can rise is to take a shot just before the major finishes his briefing, and remembers his little daughter has no time to purge wily arcturus. the moon rises, alright, like the free jazz ringtone improvised by your smartphone when someone in the whitehouse wasn’t looking. or did i really mean to say “white horse”? i guess i wasn’t looking either. the sample returned but no one was home. you could have caught it with a flying net, but every seven years it’s in maintenance or on a snowy field. the paint on the snow has ripples. they used 3D printing to make snow fall faster and cheaper. still, there’s no money for moonlight. — oakland july 2017 except when full except when full i put moonlight in a bottle on the kitchen counter near the crumbs and unwashed butter knife moonlight dribbles down the bottle and i scoop the light in plastic bags closed with twist ties and throw them in a drawer so i can read next power failure soft moonlight beams murmur my name in the drawer and think i’m dead but i sleep instead and light falls flat on the dish you feel the particles try to remember but they sit there expressionless and motionless and never talk and don't know their name and go for a walk once a day if someone calls them from the door — oakland march 2018
