PART TWO

MOON

i am never full.
never.
there has always been more to my hunger
especially when it comes to her
and yet, i am full of holes
i well up and the words are hard to get out

"whos the best?"

she knows
she has always known

i see her now, barely
distance keeps us that way but i can make her out
spread upon the sand gripping to the last of my beams
naked, in every way she is naked for me
and that keeps me racing
flying towards the unconquerable west
just in case we get to share the sky
for a little minute, or more

"who is it that you are pining for?"

she is a goddess to me
she knows
i hope she has always known

we know an eclipse of things, her and i
with great breath she says my name in a dream
and while awake i curve around the world
wishing for her breath on my neck
we make up the possibility of tomorrow
for what is she without me?
a star in a sunny sky that not an eye can see...
what am i minus her?
just a rock.
an unlikely island in a dark and dreary sky.

she waits for me
impossible as it is
and i run towards her
screaming, yelling, flailing the entire way
"you, you, you...
my goddess...you"
