Of restaurants and exciting little bars,
Enhance upon regal elegance of the...

Blue Harvest Moon
Comes silently
on sorrel moccasins

roosted on tortoiseshell
of root cellar

singing, stumbling
in numb imaginings

putting a hand on the window-bar

A greenish hand holding the petiole
Is there a green soul

It's a little obscure
The halloween moon is
just a slim crescent
