"even the moon is political"(for Michele Solberg)

Diana/Selene/yet u only see a man on the moon
Land a man on the moon.Moon boots on her face
Plant a flag/rocket away.Leaving light lonely for the dark side
Pink Floyd  vs Syd Barrett.Blues versus murder ballads.
Who sings space silences?Between us ,your moon cat eyes
Politics of personal relationships sinking.Distance
Look UP! each night,apportioned light.Stars,blinking.
Weaving astrologers Conferences.Planets.Comets.Meteors
Celestial configurations ancient  calendars before/after us
(we will never be the end of this world/nor see the beginning of another-
Light flashes fast past us.Past ages resurrect with new names.
We send smoke lines into chemtrail skies.Fires burn
Bodies by the Ganges.Politics in Pakistan.Kashmir.
Every border politics.Between us,distances increase.
Words alone have no passport,nor visa
They are refugees reliant upon uncommon compassion
Watch the moon if you wish to avoid committal.
Even the moon is political
