THE BLACK HERALDS

Sacred Defoliation

Moon! Crown of an immense head
that goes on defoliating in golden shades!
Red crown of a Jesus who thinks
tragically sweet of emeralds.

Moon! Wild celestial heart,
why do you float thus, within a cup
full of blue wine, westward,
as a broken and wounded stern?
