My Kinda Movie (Black & White Visual Albedo)



1.5

The dark ink of clouds 
Moves like billowing oceanic tidal pools
In front of the chandelier candela
Of the full Sturgeon Super Moon

The undertow strong
Sweeping dust and debris
From the surface
Exposing the navel lunar impact detail
Of the Copernicus Crater

An illusionist film
Cinema Melies
In the theater of my telescope
Set up in my backyard

My own little
Mahtab Bagh
The splendorous Moonlight Garden
Of 17th century Taj Mahal
To the north of the Yamuna
Abundant then
With roses
Daffodils
And fruit trees

I think I can see you
Waving
From the Sea Of Tranquility
(Mare Tranquillitatis)

2.1

Thereafter
You
On the New Moon
Looking at me
Sees a Full Earth
Through magnifying Dolce & Gabbanas
As you french-inhale
On a long skinny fashionable cigarette

Our Full Earth
Looks 100x brighter to you
Than your full moon
Looked to me

You watch the Full Earth
Rise 
At Magnitude -17.7

The Earthlight 
Illuminating
And casting shadows
On the lunar scenery
Around you

When you don’t see me
Through the brightness
Waving back

(Which I was)

You saddle into
Your red 1979 FIAT Spyder convertible
Kicking off your Hermés high heels
Pushing the naked sole of your pastel foot
Down on the hard rubber pedal
While you simultaneously gunned the engine
Spinning the tires
And took off
Spraying moonrock everywhere

2.5

From here

If it wasn’t so dark

I might’ve seen all of that
With only my naked eye
From my own little
Mahtab Bagh
Paradise
