Tonight's Feast Under The Full Moon Poem by RIC BASTASA

the biggest and
tallest tree fell today

she thought he was just
a cute little boy in the picture

with her a week ago but he is
the man with a saw and a gun

the big rock beneath got crushed
with the tallest tree

ants and rats and snakes
got crushed too

you wonder what is this
place all about

to the deaths of them all
the village is rejoicing

tonight there will be dances
and drinks under a very big

moon and the music in the
air reaches as far as Iceland.
