“The moon is predictably exquisite, as is the view of the moon through the word. Nevertheless, we were hoping for less. Less space, less light.” ~ Ben Lerner

Tonight I can’t remember why
everything is permitted or,
what amounts to the same thing,
forbidden. No art is total, even

theirs, even though it raises towers or kills from the air,
there’s too much piety in despair
