The Moons of the Next Ten Days

Dreamed 1983/3/7 by Wayan

I stand in the mudflat junkyard
peering up at both moons.
A peel of crust unrolls

like a scroll, a rind
off the melon moon.
The lunarpeel unwinds

like moviereel, reveals
Earth's cloud-fingerprints: our
weather soon to come.

The moons fleet-shadow, dapple
Earth's sea-face. Cool our winds,
lure our tides, in a waltz of three.

So we can the next ten days foresee.
The moons will team to make
the next two days turn dark:

swallow one full-noon. Eclipse.
Then two days with nearly no
night at all--the twins full glow!

Then little sistermoon will hide;
the world bereft, as unimooned
as that lonely waking Earth

I undreamed I lived upon.
What then, past ten?
Unknown beyond.
