If I could I would fetch you the moon on a spoon
but I cannot fetch
the moon is extraterrestrial
However, I have spoons.
What is Blue Lagoon?
If I could I would, on a spoon fetch you the moon
because I have spoons
the moon is not readily ladled
Also, I cannot fetch.
What is Fantastic Four's Mr. Stretch?
If I could I would, the moon on a spoon, fetch you
since I have spoons
the moon is non-negotiable
and I cannot fetch.
What is Wretch?
...So
if you could
would you pay it back,
capture celestial entities
via alien cutlery
as per our couple's contract?
I will warm the bench you sit on
tread through the midnight dark
to watch beside your soul
delve elvish wooden spatulas
into your plant-biased
peppermint-cocoa ice
capped with shards of coconut tripe
Intemperate lovers
worshipping lunatic moons
greet doom
en masse:
grooms fold
cold to touch by lethal kiss
brides cede their summers
by self-injecting daggers
at temple.
