Under & Over
Under a full moon
Under a luminous night sky under
a full moon
Under stark black trees in the cold under
a luminous sky at night under a full moon
under stars unseen in the light of a full moon
hung over a second sphere with an iron core
under a magma sea beneath twelve billion dancing human feet
upon a crust brittle and hard of granite and gneiss
under a humus bed black as oil
under fathoms of sea and sand and stone
Cenozoic remains pooled under
the smoke of burning pearls of wisdom
curling through skulls clouding
over the march of mammals and millipedes
under a luminous sky at night under a full moon
radiating silver
Under these stark black trees
in the midnight cold I walk with you
