A Lunar Veteran's Guide to Re-Entry

Paul Thomas Saunders

So you danced in the corner.
Shaking limbs under red hair
Storyboards every evening
They’re in yours
You’re in theirs

And she saw
Black eyes while sleeping
Lord, she saw
Jesus in clouds
All around
Forrest fires were creeping
While strangers left her house

So you feared debutants
With black nails
In a white dress
Clicked their heels
Kissed the boys
Until their rosaries burned their necks

And she saw
Childhood friends whispering
Lord she saw
Old flames in sheets
All around
Prying eyes were glistening
While strangers left her house

You were the light
And you’d shine
