Virgo Moon today--my moon: stark, picky, angry, close to my smarting little heart. Soon, I'll go upstairs and fold and put away laundry. And maybe a little Ada Limon. Not sweet, understanding Sharks in the River but my original favorite, Lucky Wreck. (Ada Limon is the most attractive poet alive today.) Later, I'll stand out in the cold grass and see if I can see any shooting stars. I think to myself sometimes how obnoxious I am, and most undoubtedly be to everyone around me.
From The Great Erector of Invisible Pets:
I wanted to stand over it and wait
and when it was tired, I would let it rest,
when it was hungry I would feed it.
When it had questions, God damn it, I would give it some answers.
