earth

on the moon’s dark side
there’s nothing you’ll want to see.
you and me live free.

if a song’s a bird
is giraffe a tall leopard?
or is it absurd.

the long green grass bends
to drink from the brown wet earth.
lawnmower whirring.

the days getting short
like an old man’s end of life.
summer’s nemesis.

unforgiving cold
stretched upon a bleak white land.
a wet skeleton.

the bright orange star.
red in tooth and bloody claw.
god’s love human war.
