![]() Moon Is Slower
the precursor; electricity is gone now and folks must write with the pen that only sees a candle, friend, or many, many candlepower a candle but so what, my friend? It lasts longer in the end Who cares what is slower than the what; the by is by the way Moonlight brings us into day As the breeze bequests becalmed seas though
other May of trees could come, Will it come to pass in present tenz Look forward angel to a better way of see where I am reaching Not strife but ghostly barricade Not something front or hind me but grate through torpor visions dreamy A space through which it sees (and breeze as if I trembled through the ever trees) Though throngs of insects bending in bow language they’re not how (nor are they wow) Hidden in dark caves much tend to dwindle well and trying (dwindled well and well, worn down to acquiescense and what I say is silent, breeze but not affect the movement of the ever-sailing trees) So on and on I stay (through cities very much resembling old PA) Though broad not road; though big, just vague To find a course through quicksand torpor dreamy, go I go I must not show the care but simply pay where pay is due. Not me I go and walk with baited shoe Is this I what was asked to do?
