Last night’s moon, Queens

Last night’s moon, Queens

For Gerard Manley Hopkins by Lynn Xu

Whose thoughts are these we clothe
By cadence of,
Margaret, ourselves
In the pageantry of nature’s wood?
A child who steps into the air
Braids the congress of its kiss, sucking
Lace upon the lily-locks
Unfurls By what force? Father:
If we weep for fortune, must we also
Take her eyes? The heart peels back
Its crimson soil, a wreath
In which time, unleaving, did
Row back, backward its small current.
