Moon and Stars (August Poetry Challenge)
by Ginette T Bellei only knew you before the light went on
my love, sweet sugar on my cornflakes
when the moon exits (stage left)
and the stars fade like firecrackers fleeting
not a day passes by when i am not doubled over
throwing up everything i mean to say into oblivion - wasted
it is simple to me
as clear as the mephitic sun in january
now that the nights luminaries have disappeared
but what can be done?
bleed it out in the poetry
and wait for a refill 08/03/2004 Posted on 08/03/2004

| Posted by Max Bouillet on 08/08/04 at 05:57 AM A truly awesome verse. The set up is beautiful, "i only knew you before the light went on" that line says so much. The dream or fantasy that exists in the night, but is destroyed in the glaring light. Exquisite. |
