On the cover:

MENDOCINO MEMORY
for Haruko

Half moon
cold and low above the poplar tree
and sweet pea petals
pink and white/what
happened
on this personal best night
for casual stars
and silky constellations
streaming brilliant
through the far
forgetful darkness
of the sky

I found the other half
above the pillow
where you lay
asleep
face to one side
with nothing in this world
or the next
to hide

-June Jordan
