“Darling, oh my darling, what do you think lies beneath the skin of the Moon?”
Under the leathery surface
of Galactic stone and bone
lies a ball of string
connecting unrelated things
winding each into a
unified sphere
Unforgiven sins of Jupiter
Dropped notes from the songs
of the Pleiades
A gray hair plucked
from the tail of a comet
Nothing is incidental

Oh my, this one is especially wonderful! Please know that I’m so enjoying your moon correspondence.
Stay tuned,Abhaya. After the holidays, I will send you something out of appreciation for actually reading these things!
