because of the moon

because of the moon
the sky is blue tonight the stars
violet

bolts from a nailgun galaxy shot
into white eyes
dark heads

rat tat

they comb the
fascia strafe the minds
the damaged skin

of heaven’s

toothbrush cowboys
punching the ivories
into remission

raise

your palms to the sky
[your mother]
the infrared

concerto
