🎥 "Godzilla vs. Mothra" (1992).

"beaver moon"

1.
plunging ahead into Pale Fire
head back
eyes closed
like an armless Paschke hero

armory of movies
its own kind of cabinet dust

penultimate frog stamp
defaced icon not
batrachian

between two worlds

2.
pictures of the gone world
mixed with a few slightly realer
the sun for an hour or two
too late in the day to walk in
the old stories

spooks from the future
of next week
come back in time to solace me
or maybe warn
ambiguous as all oracles

new things on the skyline
since last i was there

3.
inside the poem
a commentary that refutes it

more than usual?
more than this sky?

Flowers of the Sky.

“How may these rimes, so rude as doth appeare,
Hope to endure, sith workes of heauenly wits
Are quite deuourd, and brought to nought by little bits?”

—The Faerie Queene, IV.2

Una matica de ruda.
