By Richard Mather
Version one
Coldly satanic is the phantom moon
whose hollow shell is the alien body
of a god who hatched and died too early.
A residual spectre whose time is law
and who rules in phases, the moon
drags and drains the earth, feeds off
the lonely, aching hearts of women,
the bloody thoughts of scheming men.
It is a vampire's hunger for life,
nourishment for the occult side
of its nature.
Version two
Coldly satanic is the phantom moon
whose hollow shell is the alien body
of a god who hatched and died too early.
A residual spectre whose time is law
and who rules in phases, the moon
drags and drains the earth, feeds off
the lonely, the aching hearts of women,
and bloody thoughts of men.
It is a hunger for life,
food for the O-mouthed one,
nourishment for the occult side
of its O-mouthed aspect.
