Moon In Double Bind

Shock of the full moon’s O last night—
            we were turning the corner home—
its halo doubled: O language: O night:
            the rush of it and then its pulse.

So let the crickets crank it up a notch
            and screw the words: we like to watch.
In this fix and of it—O, my old O:
            fresh stars and an infinite tango.
