With The Moon On Their Wings

Wild geese
in a proud V
sailing over the seas
with the moon on their wings

the shadows of them dance
an ominous cloud
of darkness
with the moon on their wings

months later
they fly back
coming to warmth again
with the moon on their wings

they come to rest
in a tall tree
sitting tall and proud
with the moon on their wings

the tips of their wings
flutter softly
batting at the moon
that is always on their wings

  • Thoughts after the fair

    I’ve never enjoyed the feeling of being sick to your stomach on a fair ride. Maybe I just don’t have the iron-willed intestines that all of my friends seem to have, because I get sick from going on the teacups at a normal speed.

  • october, my love

    october,
    my love,
    it is good to see you once again.

    although it appears i have missed
    your grand entrance,
    while i left the room.

    i walked along the street to visit you,
    and looked up,
  • scratches

    skin pulled taut and tight
    burning like the light
    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
