As far as from the moon

Christine Scanlon

The mad Madonna
driving all the protestants wild
went to the big city
to find a father for the child.

A ruddy face in the window
the moon, for a song—
she barks when its full

in bed alone and cold
a daughter up for grabs
others just pass by
the steeple painted gray high.



Christine Scanlon
