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.
