Moon Slap

Gilded shadows erect the night
Upward toward the impossibility of the moon
Whose light is the theorem that proves
Matter and space to be alike.
The ocean, like a lost child, wails
For continuity of water.
But it will not taste beach grass
Or live oak tonight.
The moon interrupts its reaching with a slap,
And it recedes.
