the     WHITEST MOON   is   soft

and she          loves                me

she          is a                  safety

   and she waters the flower

                   fence


WHITEST MOON      forgives me

  and      she       loves         me

       and      she        picks        a

            pea pod from the trellis

and puts it in her

                         red mouth


now it's gravel


blackest noon

tread        lightly

as I write letters to my

                       lovely

WHITEST          MOON

that        say


kiss my lips

and un

             forgive

this gorgeous

             gold

                 disaster.
