diesel moon



The grass is blue 
Tablet smooth 
Oily and reflective 
As your moon 

Could it be indubital 
Could it be defective 
Could it be remotely 
Open to revision 

This crashing ripple 
styrene toasted 
This quintessential skimmer 
Juxtaposed in highness 
Like a drunken swimmer 

The grass is blue just like a flag 
Beneath the feet of an evil imp
Trashing cowslips with her rake 
Take that you bloody petal 
Fornicate on someone else's allotment 
I hope a hungry rabbit eats you 
Plops 
And cudds your stalk 
You whippet 
You mangle 
You cad sir 
You cad 

What's the sublimation daisy 
The heat of your pants 
The steam of your gloat 
Are you masturbating in the clouds 
Are you tendering 
Your swollen throat? 

I wish there was more to come
I liked the drunken rake
They tied my doubt to 
On a diesel moon

(There was another verse 
Wanted to use a phrase 
About liminal textures 
But it got lost 
Somewhere between 
The hangover of a dream
And a litany of bloated ignorance 
Masquerading as a grace
Can't remember which one
Can't be love or hope
Which leaves my squalid faith.)
