Interviewed by Gerard Malanga
May 31, 1961, by Charles Olson
the lilac moon of the earth's backyard
which gives silence to the whole house
falls down
out of the sky
over the fence
poor planet
now reduced
to disuse
who looks so big
and alive
I am talking to you
The shades
on the windows
of the Centers'
place
half down
like nobody else's
lets the glass lower halves
make quiet mouths at you
lilac moon
old backyard bloom
which gives silence to the whole house
falls down
out of the sky
over the fence
poor planet
now reduced
to disuse
who looks so big
and alive
I am talking to you
The shades
on the windows
of the Centers'
place
half down
like nobody else's
lets the glass lower halves
make quiet mouths at you
lilac moon
old backyard bloom
