moon memories
when the past leaks into the present
I.
i remember hillel garden snow piles
and craving you in my bed as i tossed and turned
my mind contorted by candy land visions
my lips moving silently for you
they mouthed your name
where are you, shrieking from the center of me
II.
we moved in stages
first your legs across my legs
and then our hips followed
mouthing
`hey, what i have been choking down all day is
i love you, i really think i am falling in love with you`
falling // deeper
into the well outside the music hall
we used to meet at and it became a symbol
a something
a place we fought and touched each other
so many stones
so many memories held in places held in rocks held in dirt
III.
i give myself to the moon
i remember and i weep
and i give myself to the moon
because four walls
can contain
the patterns of the mind
but the wild world
takes them and gives me
spacious moment wonder
i root the ruts of my past
to find the hidden pearl gem
i see when i look into the depths
of the terror in me
of the terror in me
………
i have something to say,
i have something to say
i remember seeing you
i remember seeing you in a dream somewhere
in a dream somewhere
i remember seeing you
when the past leaks into the present
