Pale Moon Street Light (from "The Journey Of The Spirit")
tonight the moon is pale,
and you, street light, I am staring at you through this dirty window. you have seen good times and bad times, accidents and arguments, stray cats and new moons. but tonight you are the moon, pale, drowning me, penetrating my window and destroying any rest I could of had with this first night of moving in. but perhaps I am just elaborating when I should be sleeping, as it is hard to sleep so far away from home. tonight what I see out there is a poor substitution for everything: no quiet or sleep: only a street light that is loud like an angry woman, shining on what I will call home from now on.
