984


THAT MOON 

Shining through, the lonely lady of night

Like a cyclops, sees

Every indecent proposal

Posted to a disgusted face.


Under the cherry moon, one bright

Spring night, she tossed a rose

To the heap awaiting garbage disposal.

You see it was a case


Of unrequited love; how wrong so right,

There the meaningless token,

Awakening no arousal

Of appreciation for a vase,


Was cast away out of her sight.

Cocktail breathed a sigh of relief,

The color of night was lethal,

An assault of sensitivities at base.


Fifty shades of grey just might

Be, the perfect hue of that moon global.
