she left just a trace

…

the sun in her eyes
is making me blink
& her kitchen sink
is everything plus
the sum of these whys
the scattered beyonds
the morning responds
a sneeze of a breeze

the moon is a star
a seven card draw
an evening before
a new afternoon
it happened again
her rain on my face
she left just a trace
confusion still rules

the river between
the banks & that field
& gladly i wield
this crap plastic pen
the spool of a fool
as then in her stead
is songs in my head
so we are both ghosts

…

what is the moon?

what is the moon? by marjorie flotsam-watson

what is the moon?

i oft inquire


this nightly sphere

ghost amplifier


this lunacy ball

generator


cratered

werewolf activator


~


maybe cheese

or lunar ground


in thessaly

they drew it down


or a secret

alien base


what's beneath

that wonky face?
