It's very nearness changes who I am.
--after Sarah Harwell "Super Moon"
by Judith Ann Muse Robinson
Dark dome of night. Split. Ablaze
at the clerestory. Buona sera,
Superluna of the blood. Welcome. Rest
awhile within our brimful nest
of empty opulence. Creation holds ephemeral
residence enough for you. Clever
hangs its head beneath Niagara's
tongue turned sifting whisper
of Sahara's shifting sands. Distant river
ice explodes a scent of new-mown hay.
Fleshing-out begins of sclerotic bones. Rudder
lost. Dam-breaking floods
expose dry riverbeds draining smelted ore
of sword and shield.
Babble becomes anthem. Becomes
lullaby. This palsied foot taps Tango.
