The Tarot Moon (a micropoetry series)

howling at a moon
that never hears
in love with the moon
in dog day dreams

the moon above the ruin
lighting the nights of death

the dam burst here
the flood is in
the water washes over
my naked skin

stung
by the jagged claws
of sea creatures
crawling through the night

even here
the grass grows green
as night is ever dark
and schoolchildren dream

jagged along the edge
reaching out to you
between the howls
to the midnight moon

Tarot Moon (micropoetry series)

howling at a moon
that never hears

in love with the moon
in dog day dreams

the moon above the ruin
lighting the nights of death

the dam burst here
the flood is in
the water washes over
my naked skin

stung
by the jagged claws
of sea creatures
crawling through the night

even here
the grass grows green
as night is ever dark
and schoolchildren dream

jagged along the edge
reaching out to you
between the howls
to the midnight moon
