"With
how sad steps, O Moon, thou climb'st the
sky,
How silently, and with how wan a
face!"
Where art thou?
--Wm.
Wordsworth
Man,
missing his moon,
Devours ovoid egg
Wanders elliptical evening
With washed and careless feet --
While glaring from a forest darkness
The small squint pigeye:
Two
minds travel space
On different winds --
One,
Distracted
Missing moon
Cleanfooted
On the occasional acorn,
The
other, unseen
Darts, ducks
Blows, sucks
Snorting piggly wrath;
The
pigcharge:
Man bitten in the oaksprouts
Raises first torn foot then razor
Slits the pink and bristled
throat.
Moon
appears
Mid joyous solitary singing--
While egg and parslied pigmeat
Roast
In honor of the moon.
Moon
shines like and egg,
Endlessly Ovoid.
