| QUOTE |
| The summer sky was like a pyramid with a golden vertex. The afternoon came headlong, a knight-errant lost amid the heavens, hectoring the orange moon with a lance of dry air and wings of storm clouds. I was anxious, but you weren’t afraid of anything, and then you put your arm around me, held me, asked me why I stayed away so long. That night in bed you wore a helmet, whorled and white-horned, so that you could disregard the fealties I swore, the promises that you might misconstrue, and so it is you always leave for dead the one you love with what you say he said. From Sonnets from the Mare Imbrium, by Bart Baxter |
The Moon, yeah... The Moon
