Full Moon
Full Moon
I feel jumpy tonight. My skin's crawling.
A xanax and beers can't sort it out.
I walk the dogs under a full moon.
A subtle pull gathers me to its orbit.
Moonlight bathes me in its calm blah blah blah!
I'm feeling broken with all the distress around me.
Friends I must save are periously close to the drain.
Death makes it clear who has the final say. Not me.
Tomorrow I find the moon fell from the sky rocking
gently in the wind in the creek in my backyard.
I see it's like a ball kids would toss back and forth.
Maybe I'm losing my mind or maybe just finding it.
