You’re not anywhere near
where you’d promised
you’d be,
Señor Moon . . .
Mister Moon.
And my sweetheart
is flat, she’s downright
disappointed.
So I think that you owe me
something – no Señor Moon?
Mister Moon . . .?
You’re waning, I’m waxing,
we’re slightly out of step.
Or perhaps, as you say,
she simply finds me too . . .
clean-shaven?
Oye baby!
Signorina,
that’s a
che
bella
luna.
Extraordinarily che,
opulently bella,
laughingly che bella
luna.

A Latina
plays soulfully
an ocarina
to a note
all
of the saddest songs.
So much to say
in a single breath.
No time
for a a kiss,
just breathe.

Write fast before
I lose it
avoid sidebar
and step-arounds
to the point
neither vertex nor acme
or apex
nor vertigo
could be anywhere
in-between
at the origin
one can decide
which way to go
to zero
