When I left the Sun
Hard when the Sun did shine
And stayed the same
Then I watched the Moon change
All for you
To be lost
The way the underneath
was ment to be
Ment to be
Ment tto be

'When I left the Sun' contrasts the Sun's constancy with the Moon's change, loss, and repeated forms of what was 'ment' to be.
The spelling slippages matter because the page is already about distortion and fate. Sun and Moon become a small cosmology for leaving, watching, and being altered.
''''Giving Im' -- a brief accounting of movement without purchase. The speaker walked the feet without owning the place; 'Hollyness and war / Caught hard against your stars' compresses the whole spiritual-geographic freight into a figure of immigration as curiosity.'''
