reading in the dark.

I can turn it on

I can turn it off

a flick of a switch

or one more thought?

For better or worse

no light is wasted

if someone, somewhere

is reading in the dark.

A little wink to Kurt

Time to sink back

to the far side of the moon?

Nah, this soil will do.


So it goes.

Phases of the moon

The sun is up again
as if to say,
I told you so dummy!
It is I, not the moon
whom shines its rays.
And wouldn’t you know
the moon stood still,
I’ll tell you a secret,
he said. We work best
together, my phases and all
are just too much for her
sometimes. So I’ve settled
for shadow puppets. Look!
Our love it is there,
on the dark side.
