October

by Paul Cholewa - Virgo

the harvest moon is dripping
orange glue onto the fields
it smothers the wheat and mice
it smells like melons
and sounds like paint
as the orange glue drips, drips, drips
from the bloated harvest moon
struggling to lift itself
across the glitter-peppered sky
the gluey moon melts its heart
splatting and splattering
pulling the weight of the tides
rolling, dripping
slowly rising
stern and expressionless
conquering the night
Birth sign: Virgo
