From A Woman Under the Surface: MOON AND EARTH
Alicia Ostriker
Of one substance, of one Matter, they have cruelly Broken apart. They never will touch
Each other again. The shining Lovelier and younger Turns away, a pitiful girl.
She is completely naked And it hurts. The larger Motherly one, breathlessly luminous
Emerald, and blue, and white Traveling mists, suffers Birth and death, birth
and death, and the shock Of internal heat killed by external cold. They are dancing through that blackness.
They press as if To come closer.
