As Blue As the Moon
I feel the blue covering the moonlight
The darkness eclipsing the sunrise
I find no comfort in the joys of life
As a total eclipse resides
In my heart
No more begging for leftovers at the prominent tables
Wanting friendship with the highly favored
I find much distress lapping crumbs from the floors of the hearty
As clarity develop roots
in the soil of my flesh
My flesh lives on
And my heart dies in mortal combat over love, right, and wrong.
