Jefferson Hansen Poem (Reprinted from "Love/AntiLove")


The Moon Gone Orange

"the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea"
                                             --  Henry IV, Part One 
we are the moon people
we are the dawn people
we are the moon gone orange

the moon can be stationary and insistent

the moon can appear where we least expect
biggest when lowest

somewhere i heard of people who search for patterns
plug data into computers
develop blueprints of sky
that predict

i believe these people are dense
i believe we are the moon people

light like fairies

the moon demands the most in the morning when

our faces become round
our touch white
our gifts unnerving

our skin is dust we bequeath to each other
