Moon bead bleeds minds blind
down rum road, numbed reflection
to darkness resigned
days shortening find
in solstice resurrection
slight solace star signed
Expansion refined
no bankrolled retrospection
ends up in slow grind
Some seats ermine lined
empty, causal conjection
drum beats double-bind
wraith sunset assigned
orbital introspection
faith’s autumn declined
Sol, Luna aligned
with solstice circumspection
horizon black-lined
So life reads, we find,
through natural selection,
new rises, old pined
Intimacy signed
by ultimate rejection
space trace reassigned
Sum total unkind
soon summary ejection
watch sprung coils unwind
Fresh Spring waits behind
horizon's interjection
transience assigned

Mostly Moonshine
Moon bead bleeds minds blind
down rum road, numbed reflection
to darkness resigned.
Expansion refined,
no bankrolled retrospection,
ends up in slow grind.
Some seats ermine lined
empty, causal conjection
drum beats double-bind.
Wraith sunset assigned
orbital introspection
faith’s autumn declined.
Sol, Luna aligned
with solstice circumspection
horizon black-lined.
So life reads, we find,
through natural selection,
new rises, old pined.
Intimacy signed
by ultimate rejection
space trace reassigned.
Sum total unkind
soon summary ejection
watch sprung coils unwind.

Mostly Moonshine
The blind lead the blind
down the road of reflection,
to darkness resigned.
