June Bug Moon Song

by Nicole Assenza

I’m singing the moon song
Every night now

The space age and its television dreams
Addict me
Don’t soothe me
Satellites can’t calm me
This mania makes perdition

Hello my name is
Lunatic anonymous

American werewolves
Picking at my bones
Succinct teeth sink
And a new triptych forms
My soul sucked away
In the blankets of darkness
It’s all loneliness
From this point on

There’s a humane way to end it
Morning light a cathode ray
Streaming anesthetics
The way angels must have
Putting down the war dogs
Newspaper weapons line the floor
Offense against
Flies of anxiety
Shelter against
The boiler room outside

They float into
My second floor tomb
Orbit around
My paranoid night stand lamp
A Gatsby green light
For a girl who forgot how to sleep
At night

Until August I’ll go on
Singing the moon song

I find that insomnia always takes me on the most interesting journeys... I see that's true for you as well. :)
