The randy old 
woman said
Tickle me up
I’ll be
dead very soon—
Nothing will
touch me then
but the clouds
of the sky
and the bone-
white light
off the moon
Touch me
before I go
down
among the bones
My dear one
alone
to the night—
I said
I know I know
But all I know
tonight
Is that the sun
and the moon
they burn
with the one
one light.

In her burning
signing
what does the
white moon say?
The moon says
The sun
is shining.
