Why does the poet compare a poem to the moon

A poem should be palpable and mute
As a globed fruit

Dumb
As old medallions to the thumb

Silent as the sleeve-worn stone
Of casement ledges where the moss has grown -

A poem should be wordless
As the flight of birds

A poem should be motionless in time
As the moon climbs

Leaving, as the moon releases
Twig by twig the night-entangled trees,

Leaving, as the moon behind the winter leaves,
Memory by memory the mind -

A poem should be motionless in time
As the moon climbs

A poem should be equal to:
Not true

For all the history of grief
An empty doorway and a maple leaf

For love
The leaning grasses and two lights above the sea -

A poem should not mean
But be

He compares the poem to the moon, mainly because of the moon's slow, and gracious movement on the sky. According to the poet, "Leaving, as the moon behind the winter leaves" is the description of how the poem should slowly and carefully flow to the end, just like the moon during a winter night. Poem should be motionless - should capture reader's attention, and entangle him in it completely.
