LUNAR ECLIPSE: A NOTE ON HOW TO BATHE IN REFLECTIONS AND REMAIN UNSEEN


sit under an umbrella 
with a radius 
of at least two feet 
remember to wear socks
this is a lunar poem
under supervision of a solar poem
stuck in a crater under 
a Pink Floyd album 
waiting to see if anyone understands 
a hidden definition
of what the hell 
is happening here 
something simple like cells splitting
not as complex as splintered 
atoms but a smooth head nod
to the way of things
a double double animal
style with raw onions and grilled 
a scent of perfection 
permeates a lunar landscape
just ask Michael Collins
on how he smuggled cheese 
aboard without notice
tiny little microbes mouthing off
about wanting milk 
suddenly that umbrella 
becomes useful 
as fat and juices 
drip and flip 
on down the food chain
       

Zack Nelson-Lopiccolo is a on a strange trip on the back of a cat with a pocket full of cheese. We’re not going to talk about Judy…
