There is No Poetry on the Moon

(Oct. 23, 2008)  The silent poet silent
Night silent dewdrop
Gravity silent gravity
The silence of poetry “There
is no war on the moon.”  

There is no poetry on
the moon the moon
is a poem a dream
a vision a watery pull
gravity of the water’s fall  

starry night
turned away from the sun
the shadow of the earth  

There is no war on the moon.
