You didn’t tell the moon to stop blinking
It stopped on it’s own
stuttering, wavering, shining
bright enough to burn
Then going blank
Not even enough time to remember
The soft rays
Just gone
We loved it for it’s power
Now we can’t love anymore
Mr. moon won’t be our chaperone
Ever again
Makes you sad,
Makes sleeping worth the wait
Makes the sky another black ocean
Raging, raging, raging
Then falling
Then screaming
Then silence
Spotlight
Extra
Extra
The Moon is missing (it is?)
(When was this?)
(I didn’t even notice.)
(Then what’s in the sky?) Brave enough to ask daring questions
Daring in that almost smart question way
that can give you answers
but it’s too late
it’s gone
congratulations
you messed it all up….
White poison
you’re all so funny
so is this
a joke in the form of words
spewing out of mouths like puke
it’s gone, been gone for a long time
but you notice now?
There’s no sky
there’s no moon
never been a moonlit sky
it never existed
Don’t fear
Don’t remember

I’ve seen myself in a mirror suspended in a completely white room. Then again I was dreaming but that’s not the point. I know what I saw and it was me, a form of myself that I had no idea even existed. I was an angel. No, a demon disguised as an angel. Probably not, but I wanted to make this dramatic. Anyway, she was standing on the moon. The moon I remember,
and she was happy and full of a nice soft light. A light that had been before, when the moon hung in the sky like a reminder. A reminder to continue living to our best ability. Yes, that’s what I believe happened to that thing, we stopped believing. Believing in- in something. Our fate rests in our own hands. So let’s get back the-the- the…What was it called again?

Lunar Fall
comits rain down like promises
i was promised a savior
i was handed a moon rock
and a packet of lighters
that burns holes into my pocket
now i’m out of money
and moons to give
and space
The twinkling stopped two days ago
the cites are up in flames
the water is up to our necks
but look on the bright side
I never learned to swim
