Conversation with the Moon



We’re having a full Earth tonight

says the moon. I smell coffee

burning. Blackbirds whirl around

a wounded tree bleeding autumn

colors. I think I’ve had too many

glasses of sleep. There is something

you have to understand says the moon.

Reality is another form of imagination.

This is seeing! The words are tattooed

on the inside of my eyelids. My fingers

are sticky with words and I don’t know

if I can wake up. This is a dream I state

to the moon. Maybe, maybe not he says.

Will I remember any of this? Everything is

negotiable he smiles.

Thanks Paisley, I wanted it to be visual and a bit erratic the way a dream unfolds.

I just love the imagery here, and that sense of fluidity between dream and reality. Perfect.
