Chasing the Moon (with Anne Waldman)
Just a glimpse
just past midnight
Half looming
hugely
about to sink
into black trees
masking
Boulder horizon
Enough time to
catch more of her
we thought
so the chase
was on
Barreling down
side streets
over speed
bumps
barely stopped
at each sign
Where is she?
Where did she go?
Had to settle
for the moon
(and stars)
in a Joe Brainard
matchbook
(not a bad
substitute)
The moon only
half herself
has an expert
vanishing act
The moon has
lady tactics
The moon has
many scarves
