Mina Loy's

            Mina Loy's poem "Lunar Baedeker" starts by talking about the moon and referring to it as a silver Satan serving a drug in an abundant supply. Some sleep-walking adolescents are draped or covered in ridiculous clothes. The poem then darkens and is talking about preparing for a river in the underworld, that's water when drunk makes the dead forget about their life on Earth. Perhaps the speaker wants to forget about their life when talking about after death parvenus or fame. There are incoherent avenues lit with white glistening souls of single cell organisms from dead Pharoah's tombstone. The speaker is talking about seeing lead, mercury and phosphorous. There is some type of extremely unpleasant spot or period that is in a long trench. The eye-white sky-light in the poem is the moon. The moon is very bright and lights up everything. There are star like signs that the speaker sees. The signs "Wing shows on Starway" and "Zodiac Carousel" could be like street signs, or to me sound like Broadway show titles. There are winds that sound like wind storms in the Middle East with the whipping sand. The speaker says that the winds are of dust and ashes. There are people or things in these wind storms that are up high in an imaginable fortress of shattered glass trying to be protected who then evacuate to a cavity or holes they can find. The speaker now sees an ancient cemetery. From the shores of rounded oceans there is a chemical combination of oxygen and daylight. There are different eye colored female slaves and bird studiers that see the loss of love or sexual desire. The thought of living forever or never dying mildews or gets old after looking at the moon. The phrases "Nocturnal Cyclops" or one eyed night and "Crystal concubine" or crystal mistress throw the reader off. The speaker ends by saying that the lifelike moon is a stubbornly unchanging thing of the sky that increases and decreases. Perhaps increases and decreases are a reference to the phases of the moon.
