Tigers of the Moon (final)

“nature set in her at once beauty with bounty” -John Gower (1325-1408)

I have seen the dark side of the moon,
its thick black tongue swarm in the night;
all the mouths laid to waste for want of rain
and softness of arms peeled from bodies
when simple desires weren’t enough.

An obsession of vagaries
composed of calcium and cartilage
draped in leather and fur coats
more expensive than this life;

other parts sold for medicinal purposes
souvenirs, charms and ashtrays.

To kill a thing so mortal as pain
tell me that it is not a sin,
tell me your name!

look into her eyes and tell me
that you felt nothing rip
through you—in that instant
amber turned gunmetal gray.
