luna see

about thirty times;
the distance of the
earth from end to
end in spherical form -
thirty times over approx.
and you reach the rock
rolling through the sky
trapped by the earth
into an orbit and of
course it's quiet
from here to
there once
you es-
cape
earth's
atmosphere.

Luna 1.
Luna 2.
through to
Apollo eleven.

for the librations - as
in that sway, that slight
swagger of the moon as
it orbits the earth.
