chards of the moon by Andrew S Adamsshe was holding the moon in my hand
and the stars were colliding in another room.
blissed in eternal darkness, she tried
to cover up my senses.
but i could still hear the chaos above,
around the sprial, i felt a vibration
one more star bites the dust;
quite literally.
and one more star.
and one shot away from the sun, head-on
waiting for the dawn-
to assasinate her in a subtle fashion.
and even as the moon fragments, i am
clenching fast to it,
like chards of glass crumbling delicate
tiny, but if i retract
there will be nothing left. 06/14/2003 Posted on 06/15/2003 Copyright © 2025 Andrew S Adams

Posted by Glenn Currier on 06/16/03 at 06:19 AM Fascinating poem. I get images of someone tripping in the other room... the writer trying to hold on to a piece of beauty and reality in a world of unreality... the images are haunting. Well done. |
