BIOGRAPHY OF A MOON In the beginning there was God And the mindless universe; Stars, sun, earth, and moon In a starry womb. Before His image, The goal in gestation Grew life, and the pale pilgrimage To death was thawed In the thoughtless tomb ... Thoughtless until The creation. And The creation was man, And through him the body and soul Of the universe was born; Born in an awareness, born Through the mind’s misty passage Until all that glittered was goal. The moon, born brightest In the conscious night, Celebrates its birth In a savage scene: Fire from the chanting caves Spears the night in eerie waves • While grunting fathers sing the moon e In superstition’s frightened tune ... Behind the eyes The winds of time Blow shadows from the blood; The soul sheds its chains And rages through the brain; All flesh spouts fire And fuses cells in one desire: The sacrifice of night to mind. One man dies But the race survives And grows young. The moon, one life, grows old With logic for wrinkles And a disease called Man: The contagious disease which Leaves its victims cold In the mind and dead: Thought be the universe And Man its hearse. Theodore Coburn Nelson
