Poem: Hungry Moon

 

Hungry Moon

 

to the moon,

a bat is nothing but a cursed fly,

a shriveled cherub,

mene mene scrawled in tenebrous chaos.

 

songbirds are lost, long gone flirts,

whose tasty arpeggios

titillated every pore

on the body of sound.

 

every sunset, it's the same,

the same cheshire cat grin, 

a fiery languor on the horzon, 

shooing all feathery morsels.

owls and loons are too lean and haunted.

even the cryful crickets,

more boney than plump,

yearn for a chirr where the dancers

can see each other twirl.
