Did You Have Your Conversation with the Moon? - Tweet by Ada Limón, July 4, 2020
or: Why Lesbians Love the Moon so Much Grant me your penumbral kiss, Miss Lune, and I’ll trade you some earthly bounty. I’ve seen you pull at the oceans, Old Stone, but that surely can’t be all? I bet if you tried, sweet Cynthia, you could rip the seas from the sands yourself. You could fill your craters, Mistress Luna, bring the fish too and have mercy. I can’t be the one to do that, Dearest Daughter of Theia, what rocket do I have? What giant eyedrop? You, original streetlight, Queen Selene of the Mean Streets, could find a were-thing more fitting for your prayer. If you did, Lady Moon, I’d miss your conversation. But I’d be fine, Orbiter, just a little sad. I promise, Mother Night, just a little sad.
"DYHYCWM" was inspired by a tweet by Ada Limón, a penumbral eclipse, and finding companionship with a space rock.
