Chapter 18: eighteen
Why Are Your Poems So Dark?
Isn't the moon dark, too,
most of the time?
And doesn't the white page
seem unfinished
without the dark stain
of the alphabet?
When God demanded light,
He didn't banish darkness.
Instead, he invented
ebony and crows
and the small mole
on your left cheekbone.
Or did you mean to ask
Why are you sad so often?
Ask the moon.
As what it has witnessed.
