The Great Race*

cyclists race around
the green moon
Earth looms vacantly

the field holds in air and warmth
riders soar above the world

grove of apple trees
amber waves
out Imbrium way

on and on they ride beneath
lich of their ancestral home

strange vermin creep there
ash blankets
Amazonia

blessed starscape on
the dark side
endless vibrant night

dwellings cluster thickly here
life forgets the horror past

hairpins scale knife-edged
mountain peaks
now mossed and gentled

leap cautiously now, for fair
Inertia holds sway below

this, the greatest race
on Sol’s green
gem, our only home


end of poem

only the moon brings
transparent
beauty to your face

among the cold graves
none so dear
as yours is to me

tear yourself away
from dances
without care or end

hold me in your arms
in moonlight
one more time tonight

Luna’s Ouroborean Heart


the
moon’s
south pole
dome is built
over ice found there;
waste heat and water move down to
stillborn lunar wyrm, which shakes off the cold, digs toward source;
lovely moist heat; Luna’s heart beats;
human bowels loose;
Earth is close
but so
so
far
