Their Moonlight Transgressions
As the sun begins its return
mall parking is available
shadows pencil mark their growing length
as breezes in Canada huff and puff
the ten day forecast leads listeners to therapy
super markets or hardware stores
rubbing salt into not yet open wounds
breakfast, accompanied by a canine chorus
howling in a growlish taunt
as squirrelly churchgoers cover their ears
a child peeks out from a wrapping paper cave
a size nine cat peers from a shoe box
the pagans will party
for the gods have forgiven them
their moonlight transgressions.
