Click hereonly one
only lonely
only moon
only dogs
bark at the moon
as if to say we’re here
and tilt their heads in wonder that
she never barks an answer
only crows
like mourners shiny black
who cannot see the moon
beyond the death of flesh
set up a braying cacophony
to summon up the sun
only lovers
drowning
in each other
sinking through parted flesh
will pause to marvel silently
as Luna kisses her reflection
and sinks into the sea
only coyote
loping ‘cross his prairie sea
howls at the moon
in conversation
only one
only lonely
only moon

jthserraabout 20 years agoWonderful images all drawn together with the moon. I like the echo of the beginning lines. Well done.

YDDabout 20 years agoI particularly like the coyote passage,
only I didn't know that moon howls were done while running.

champagne1982about 20 years agoOnly a northern prairie boy could get that right! Where are you from again? Those who live on the coast claim the moon as theirs, those in the tropics do the same, but only a soul of the central plains can appreciate the loneliness of a baying crowd or a cacophonous murder. Thanks d'maas.
