Hinazka Moon: Image Poems
Beneath the scale is
another scale. Beneath the
world -- another world.
The albatross reels.
The sails fill with wind. I too
am a wisp of cloud.
The sea at every
horizon. I could drink it dry
and still thirst.
After the wound, a
scar. After the song, silence.
After you --
What can be sung of
that which endures this world?
Moon. Egg. Tooth. Seed. Stone.
Weep, weep, Hinazka moon -
If every star were your consort
My darling would be yet more beloved.
