Trick-Moth
   for Tatjana Lukic

The sky is blind.
All that light!
It could attract a baby off its nipple
where it nuzzles blindly.
Sometimes,
                    cherries are flowers.
And the moth!
Sometimes the moth is a night, thank God,
for everything.
A nebula that smears under your finger, silver and starred,
like the necklace between
her breasts.
