CYNTHIA MOON | Clinton Van Inman Go drag your white skull before blind seas That tumble dazed to your mono-eyed magic Go string the treadmill tides around the poles And make all starry lovers pale and sick Go tell Neptune when the night is through Charm him too with your waxing and waning Awaken the Triton and all your mermaids too Let them revel in your nocturnal wandering But you can’t catch me with those half smiles As your borrowed brilliance exposes you I have seen how your darker side beguiles As I learned too late that you are never true Go charm some other star struck rhapsodist Lure him too into your midnight mist.
