Villanelle of the moon
The moon being long heroic tonight
and somehow empamper
and duped and chopped and patted and hooded and....
the moon of the old
and moon of the West
and the moon of the fold
all long before were waiting
all long before were guessing
all long before were sinking
sink down like politician
sink down like something pretty or punny or funny
anytime the moon would almost say a word
tonight:
Folly, kiss, class, clatter, mirror, reflection down, stand
and sit,
and moon, moon, moon
state why naivety and whims
or little, little, little flirten or glirten
neither glee nor don?.
