She kisses like the reading of an ancient poem With lips clouded by their own sighs, So too with all her mock moons, paraselenae, Obnubilations over her luminous mind, Her last desperate pulchritude of night, Chaste labors of assembling unspoiled dew: Just crumbs of breath at the Greek feast of wind, New sun pouring in to the clay flowers of our lungs.

Mock Moon of an Old Lover
She kisses like the reading of an ancient poem With lips clouded by their own sighs, So too with all her mock moons, paraselenae, Obnubilations over her luminous mind, Her last desperate pulchritude of night, Chaste labors of assembling unspoiled dew: Just crumbs of breath at the Greek feast of wind, New sun pouring in to the clay flowers of our lungs.
“Obnubilation” means to cover with clouds “Paraselene” is a mock moon like a sun dog
