Night of the Telescopes
by Emma Trelles
I have buried my share and hardly anyone knows. A house must hold ghosts, writing Names across funereal woods and windows Good for viewing the lingering past. This night of telescopes fixes the cold October sky—a Saturn so delicate as if Sketched by moths holding to nearby stones For their lives. The sutures of the moon drift Into sharpness and a hand points to the inevitable screen Another haunt in this dim garden where voices ride Across pines and the invisible fountain locked In the same little song. Here is the Sea of Crisis And I would recognize its expanse anywhere Having visited often, even beneath my lids when I disappear At night to visit with a father who no longer knows me Or the dead who always do, and glow like the rain or a rose Finished with the business of becoming. I can’t say the worst Because I’ll keep living it. Machine of the mind. Belt Of the hunter. I can spot his patient blade from either coast— The one where I drown the one where I love the one Where I keep rowing through the blaze and the black.

Who Kknows If the Moon...
by ee cummings
 
who knows if the moon's a balloon, coming out of a keen city in the sky
filled with pretty people? (and if you and i should get into it,
if they should take me and take you into their balloon. why then we'd go up higher with all the pretty people than houses and steeples and clouds: go sailing away and away sailing into a keen city which nobody's ever visited,where
always it's Spring)and everyone]s in love and flowers pick themselves
