we love the moon
because..it is non-committal
and detatched from the affairs

of man..we try to drag it in
with poetry and science
but it remains..

aloof and laughing..fearful
that someone somewhere understands
or hollow..

ii

we  love the moon because..
it reminds us of when we were small
and we wanted a biscuit as big as..

but have never compromised
though the smile has got madder
essentially we remained..

iii

we love the moon because..
we don´t..this is a myth
we fear it..

it is paranoid-a mad wife
with a great white carving knife
held to the throat..

iv

we love the moon because
she is high priestess witness
to our love and suffering

and if she seems to laugh
o they are great tears
and we may join in..

v

we love the moon because..
we love the moon
because..

we love..
i mean **** it all
love and the moon..synonomous..
