by Zenobia Frost

new
sky-appointed
ghost laureate
 
waxing crescent
too tough to approach
in its leather jacket
 
waxing gibbous
the moment before
her whole hand
 
full
a fresh thumb-tack
pins up your future
 
waning gibbous
falling asleep
on a mouthful of words
 
waning crescent
I’ll show you my good side
 
envoi: eclipse
god runs solar
system updates
 
             all her futures
             backwards compatible
