Moon Petal

I shot a moon petal

   rainly falling.

It died the softest pirouette.

And through the sky,

   like some withered word,

     went scrawling;

Etched in diamond unforget.

 

Oh save me from myself,

   but save me from all men—

Privileged to know the truth;

Yet they lie,

   and lie again.
