today's poem - "Beneath a Pirate Moon"

 

Beneath a Pirate Moon

 

A pirate moon smokes a cigarette

out the sky truck’s open windshield

-Your sense of it contradicts mine

yet sounds how a wheatfield smells

 

Of course I’m always wrong but ye hear

th’ insects gnawing off a brutal freedom

gaging time and space secretly weighed

as wind and sound depart tangibly

 

I say military-encoded music is naught:

Frisbeed tunes blurred upside sheer sense

But a moon’s bluish undercourse may wobble

to squall me in my watery independence

 

like soot-sinewed breezes fuddle pussycats

and pirate moons blight all false liberty
