under swollen moon
persecuted by
adventitious misery
a wave
frozen in glass
unable to feel
ebbing tug of
the cratered satellite
crystalline tears
an engagement of sorrows
misplaced displaced replaced
by sullen imposters
untouched
by the wan yellow glow
disengaged from
the soulshiver pining
in this supple
sea of secondhand tranquility
lunacy in lunar withdrawal
maladapted to solitude
yet inconveniently composed
a swell of ocean
transcribed in amber
longing in fossilized repose
