Once There Was a Moon



If I speak in the language of poets and dreamers, 
but profit from the moon, I am only empty words or a devilish liar.


Midnight crawls across the stars
hungry for the moon, but can’t
find Luna’s scent.

Clock hands claw the wailing trees
handcuffed to blind night
trying to free the last dream.

The walking dead build another mansion
with profits earned from mining reflection.
