the night of the lunar eclipse, august 28th, 2007.
...
Your heart manholed
for the installation of feeling.
Your motherland’s parts
prefabricated.
Your milk-sister
a shovel.
--Paul Celan, "Your heart manholed"
Moonstone was very popular with the Romans, who thought it was formed out of moonlight, also used in Roman jewelry since 100 AD.
