[I've been kinda going through some of my older work, stuff I've never posted here before, seeing if there's anything in 'em that might still feel right to me now. This is one of those, for sure.] Skeleton Moon After the rain but before the dawn shards of light break on the wet grass of my lawn it’s only the moon and the memory of you Ghostly visions glide around my coffee cup rim it’s not the warm steam these spirits of memories swim and the skeleton moon cuts me through and through each day when I read the news I see right through it to gaze at your mirage of a face I guess I knew it as soon as I met you, I’d fall into chasms of the moon In your eyes stars and butterflies and a saxophone song since you’re gone I’ve been taken to the night because your face is in that lunar light Four A.M. now I’ve broken into slumber a smile lighting my way to dreams of forever wonder and that ceramic moon cracks on my weary tune and my memory of you "Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite and I don't know why" -- Van Morrison, 'Sweet Thing' |
