Blue Moon<\/strong><\/p>\n

I<\/p>\n

blue moon from
\ndrunk-ship said<\/p>\n

I watch the purple-milk lake
\n& though my head
\nis ugly no<\/p>\n

head has any use<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

II<\/p>\n

rusted smear
\nor rain<\/p>\n

by us the lake<\/p>\n

is language<\/p>\n

together<\/p>\n

we needed it<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

III<\/p>\n

time<\/p>\n

devours me<\/p>\n

though the whisperer<\/p>\n

inside a beat<\/p>\n

\u2018s at my chest<\/p>\n

a black hand comes over it all<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IV<\/p>\n

an end to everything<\/p>\n

was predicted<\/p>\n

after black dust<\/p>\n

last month<\/p>\n

I woke to sunrise<\/p>\n

in Rome\u2019s wide street<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

V<\/p>\n

my dreams lie<\/p>\n

to me<\/p>\n

there is no escape<\/p>\n

from everything\u2019s<\/p>\n

cold death<\/p>\n

whatever that won\u2019t be<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

VI<\/p>\n

what bitter ache<\/p>\n

for here?<\/p>\n

& by shadow<\/p>\n

we urge<\/p>\n

the raw<\/p>\n

through pink<\/p>\n
