(poems From Haunted Houses) Moonlight In Ardival

Rating: 5.0


The tiger does not sleep tonight

it hangs in the moonlight

like a curse on the stairs

the cobras unwind

from the labours of their day

supporting the ornate spittoons

the herons and the falcons

wink their glass eyes -

“I see no ships” -

the turkey carpet stretches

a sea of Sargasso weeds

in the moonlight

in the moonlight

in the house

in the past

in the moonlight
