The Moon a Nipple
moon slopes the sky she is a nipple
and her statuary of light and shade
enchants where there are stars or not
statutory tonight, she is brightness and thus love
the masturbatory good that brings us here pulled
down from madness to her stature like stars,
blinking their unthinking wink, tomorrow
is sorrow for some writ large on nothing
who gives a flying duck? such unluck,
but for me it is an enormous bite of cheese
because of size and life and reason,
and winter my season is coming with
waters cold and frozen as they should, and
sixty four importunate varieties of fortunate love,
my fortunes, nubile nothing, i am eloquent when
will is, and kisses bliss mourning falls
on hibernal walls, and snowy summits smelly
and sticky, and losses creased with frost -
it’s only the weak who cough
