Lunar Etude

The ship in the bottle

Is flush with the moon

Near the armadillo of aurorae

Light that speaks in crackles and snaps

It’s the language of all origin

The spark of all creation

Creation of the surf and shores

Where the upright piano

Has washed onto the beach

It’s a spinnet

to be spun

like turning caterpillar spit

into silk

Long fingers reach down

when the fog comes in

plays gymnopédies of nostalgia

and the darkest saddest

Dancing Queen

you’ll ever hear
