[01] Eating Moon Poem by Ashraful Musaddeq

[01] Eating Moon

Rating: 4.2


I've climbed up a betel-nut tree
Plucked and eaten up
a purplish-blue moon last night...


Before going in bed
I felt a soft tablet into my gullet
dissolving down...


I've truly consumed you
my baby, my bluish-purple moon!
