Under The Moon*
Up round-top way
Standing under a full moon
Centered in the baby blue morning sky
My slippers slide from fresh, cool mud
My legs itch from the thirsty morning mosquito
<biting as I’m writing>
Those brilliant brown/black/white birds sing and disappear
<with clicks and clacks>
The blood suckers and misty rains chase me inside my turtle shell
<toy-ota>
The only other human contact were two cyclists pumping their way up the mountain
I saw a light blue lubricant package
Picked it up to read it
Dropped it quick! Because if aids were to linger on one’s finger, it might be with me now too
How dumb a move, under the blue sky morning moon
*And, they voted 5-4 to give full federal standing and rights to any and all marriages.
