last night the moon waning from behind dappled backlit clouds directed my dreaming

even so cruel arid moon i’ll still love you

there i witnessed three deaths including my own each still heavy within me i am shaken

even so cruel arid moon i’ll still love you

tonight i will pull the curtains in tight to keep that light from seeping into my senseless sleeping

even so cruel arid moon i’ll still love you
