Baptism Valentine

The intense baptism
by the full moon human eyes
can barely bear it
yet fall stops here and turns
gazing back at spring

the moon’s spring
comes to the dead night
the way a snail pulls back
caught behind a parade
of streaming almost-clouds

shreds of what one thinks of
the letter scene the torn
pieces falling through darkness
the wishful moon’s eye cross-
examining every scrap.
