The child, the devil, the ghost

I remember,

Take turn on my fingers,

twist, pull, dismember.

Inside the cave, under the tent,

A knuckle slick and opulent,

Complex, no less after dissection,

A simple realisation - It bears my reflection.

A pearl pompous in its own exhibition,

A proud fool before an inquisition,

sais to me wise lady of the moon -

just a tombstone it is,

forgotten by noon.

Kwan, this is very beautiful ( and I normally run screaming from rhyming poetry )

But I'm not entirely sure I have the whole gist of it, care to clarify? Are you comparing the transient state of your physical reality with the timeless stasis of the moon? Or am I still clueless and waaay off?
