Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Under a Precarious Moon

and here we are
in our castle built from cards
one gust of wind and we go
down down down

grand illusions
mere delusions

curiosity getting the best of us
in spite of red flags waved
in the heat of the moment
warning signs cast aside
caution thrown to the wind
