Gibbous moon


devoured by our shadow, 


					     gibbous heart


					     quicker than moons to wane. 




High moon or rising, 


night's center. 


					Eccentric heart


					tipped sideways like a mango. 




Waxing moonlight, 


douser


of ever farther


constellations; 


					waning heart


					douser


					of brief


					and briefer hopes. 




Full moon, 




					fool heart: 




				masters


			of the one night stand.
