In A Room Full of Glass, the Moon is Queen

cold moon…
trouble me not with your naked eye
dark tears of light you liquefy 
and bathe in blood slow western crawl 
capture breath upon god’s wall 
a winter’s river sweet black as stone
in me your darkness flows alone 
dispossession life is war
an unsound calm defines your core
so out of place we wander wane 
the scent of sun on skin sustain  
my memory through space of kin
between the shadows of our sin 
you hold my hand in lifeless rift
and you, oh you and me adrift 

…cold moon 
in the candle of the sea 
holds 
the glut of rain 
against her beating breast - for me 
cascading droplets 
into the universe
full of glass
declares:  
“I am the sun, alas
…alas”
