The moon ascending like
a symbol of Eris
against a black velvet sky.
Your little boy smile,
defying known truths.
Twice now, twice now
under an Eris moon.
That moon, she gets in my eyes-
A wanton reflection;
shows me my favorite little lies,
little lies I beg to be true
to play the game with you,
Twice now, twice now.
Twice now, twice
under an Eris Moon.
Perhaps you are worthy of every ode I’ll ever write,
plus one, though you may not be my Adam.
Still, I might as well be Eve
A serpent in each ear with independent whisperings.
What might Eve have done without a lover to come home to? Grasped the fruit but never clutched,
it’s silky surface touched, however indecisively,
light as a father on the palm:
the one that never holds on, forever wishing.
Who’s to say that Eve will vanish faster
than she who cannot bear to touch,
holographic and eternal Ephemera, Ephemera!
Like Lilith, roaming the garden alone, by self atoned.
I wanna love again and be loved,
I’m just to high to fake it, too tired to take it, or
too shy to make it real.
I wanna love again and be loved
I’m just too high to fake it- too tired to make it real.
The moon ascending like a symbol of Eris
Against a black, velvet sky.
