Click herelapis lazuli, ground fine as life
in these problematic hours
where our judgment wanes
the way the yellow, gibbous moon
runs, middle-aged, to fat
my predatory cock
slips far away from its lair
hoping, hopeful, to bite, to spit
some lulled and wet and passive
prey, for it has not fed even lightly
all this leaden month and day

unpredictablebijouover 15 years agoYou have a careful, intelligent and detailed voice. I like most of your work, but this one caught my eye particularly. Well done.
Angelinealmost 16 years agoWho can resist a gibbous, middle-aged moon? You create a wonderful sense of a twilight state, somewhere I guess between desire and ennui, and make it sound so attractive. :-)
