Question

The poem
Moon wind

There is no wind on the moon at all
Yet things get blown about.

In utter, utter stillness
Your candle shivers out.

In utter stillness
A gaint marquee

Booms and flounders past you
Like a swan at the sea.

In utter, utter stillness
While you stand in the street

A squall of hens and cabbages
Knocks you off your feet.

In utter, utter stillness
While you stand agog

A tearing twisting sheet of pond
Clouts you with a frog.

A camp of caravans suddenly
Squawks and takes off.

A Ferris wheel bounds along the skyline
Like a somersaulting giraffe.

Roots and foundations, nails and screws,
Nothing can hold fast,

Nothing can resist the moon's
Dead-still blast
