moon scar

a slightly maternal wind pulls the water along itself, grabbing it gently by the hand and saying “Come with me please, we won’t be long”

either to detention

 or redemption

and it makes me cry
to see the lighthouse creatures
so busy at work each and every night
replacing 1,000 watt lightbulbs, neglecting 1,000 watt moonlight
and they have warts now, those never used to be there
moon bumps
the practitioner won’t even examine them
dogs won’t even lick them
and people kick them
when their demands for light aren’t met
still, they live with a scar
a moon scar
because the moon has a tendency to pull at the heart
and that causes waves
fast enough to hurt you

if you’re not balanced
and turn ships into firewood
rippling the fabric of time
like a frustrated kitten in a curtain
and tore the velvet
into a dress
that looks beautiful

 but wonders where the naked people are
and like the water in the hands of the wind,
you found your path
..and what you meant to mean
working
with the lighthouse creatures (let’s be honest, freaks)

and when your stomach growled

they gave you spoiled seaweeds
freshly spoiled

you wolfed them down
voraciously ignoring the moon scars

For now
