Tell it to The Moon

Ocean ghosts call out
Alluvial bodies reshaped by water
I see myself in their reflection
Wandering through history
With the weight of the world
Like motherless children
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
Howling at the moon
When it rains, the clouds never expect it
But wind blows in the market place
The air tastes queer
Wish it would force me back over the ocean.
But instead, I bow and scrape
Pressing together my cracked lips
Like a child weaned too soon.
They stopped my tongue
Took away my children
I wet-nursed white babes
Cried and cried
And cut out my eyes
Storms are raging
Clouds of flesh are black & blue
I'll make my coffee with a kick
Light on the cream
Heavy on the arsenic
I clench my fist
At the bleeding moon
Ragged in the rain
Leaves falling to a deadline
Spinning circles
Of quiet death
I kneel down to watch it arrive
