Full Moon On the Rise

Bones crack muscle strains
within this frail body
Teeth ache eyes dim
a yellow film covers them

Arms sleek smooth now pitted
hair begins to cover them
They seem weighted useless
to this human frame

Legs lengthen oh the pain
Back hunches stretches
to beyond belief

In an angry, frothing, shivering
flash of time passing from one
world to another, I could see
the full moon rising
