The Moon It Fell

The Moon fell slowly

bare sliver of a moon

perched above the ridge line

fell

slowly

until it was balanced perfectly on the ridge

no sway

no shifting of weight

balanced

perfectly

until it became a dagger

slicing into the ridge

slowly

piercing the Earth

turning red as it fell

into the gash

into the Earth-flesh

slowly

until it was

no more


buried

awaiting

rebirth

from Earth-womb
