There Was Harassment in the Moon There was harassment in the moon, Stained melancholy on the mouths Of pigeons whose cage had been Rendered necessitous by the whooping Pale wolves of fog strangling The breath from the slate roof, Perched upon the lowered Night sky as a visage of hallowed ghost. In the endless night of summer, Dawning drew its claws, Collapsed upon life in the dying Caress of the moon-barking Wild beasts awaiting their cue, Some prayerful devotion to the prey, Scorched eyes and ragged breaths hanging In strings of isinglass, rapt and growling For the single cry of a restless heart, Retired dreams of compassion compelled Utterances of fear and discontentment. Somewhere, tea was being poured, Soft ceramic clank and unseen drying Dab of chestnut and white silk complicating The womb Pigeon Owner called home. And he sipped steam and tea and sugar with tears, Forgotten things abounding in the small Viscera of his so-called mind, Thoughtless creations of rust destroyed Within the twilight of calm’s descent Into the shapeless abominations of his life. Somewhere, A fly wove disease in the chestnut and silk, The clank an unnoticed crack Dribbling tea into the lap of his despair. |
