The moon is playing peek-a-boo,
reflection on the water seems sad.
Wonder how saturnalia charms us
and why it never goes out of season.
                Sex R Us.
Ink-black dark, I cannot see;
even Luna appears quite uneasy.
The peaceful lapping of water
distresses me; I don't know why.
                Devouring soul?
So tranquil you could hear a
tear drop, or a salamander fart.
My nose detects an exotic odor
Arabian sand carried by wind.
                So it's said.
I squat on the rock jetty,
look for ghosts; probe my own.
My intimate séance annoys
what I have kept concealed..
                I see what I see.

Lori, appreciate it. Last line can make or break certain kinds of poems. Happy you liked this one.
