The Moon Will See You Now
“THE MOON WILL SEE YOU NOW”
listen to the moon,
it’s quiet,
it listens.
the parentless,
the homeless,
the drunks,
the whores,
the broken,
the one’s who hold
onto what’s left of
their soul.
they all see light
somewhere in
their darkness.
listen to the moon.
I’ve been parentless,
I’ve been homeless,
I’ve been drunk,
I’ve had the whores,
I am the broken.
what’s left of my soul
keeps me from losing it.
listen to the moon.
as you drive with your
hand to the wind,
you can feel it but
you can’t grab it.
that’s what life is.
listen to the moon.
life is your cell phone
waiting to charge,
life is the flat tire
on your road trip,
life is the final notice
on a bill you can’t pay.
listen to the moon.
life was sleeping behind
a taco shop,
life was calling collect
just to be denied,
life was the moment
you decided to keep
her from death.
life is,
when she kills you
instead.
do you hear the clock?
it laughs with life.
listen to the moon…
I guarantee,
it’s listening to you.
