Debussy Moonlight

 

 

Changes in the elevation 
time to move up high

Steam from grates in cities
tides in beachfront towns
music in the evening
adding to strange sounds.

All of it is going up
in smoke at first slowly
as we watch from the Blue Ridge
the slow end of cities.   

Then everything is going down
when they drive up here
after all the grocery stores
briefly end hunger. 

Down way down upon the ground
hands behind the back
gaze upon your earth my friend
the one brutally attacked.

Appomattox down the road
different rules and time
history irrelevant
to gov computer minds.   

Cluster blast atoms unwind
huge waves crashing here
all the east coast flooded
roads unengineered.

Real estate is rising too
million dollar homes
two bedrooms in a closet
built upon rough stone. 

Let us gather on a mountain
 moonlit with our friends
ancient travelers eyes focused
spread over a new ocean. 

Live or die we will arise
lune light dreaming free
higher towards eternity
or back into the sea.

Waiting To Reappear

 I had a state park pass that was stolen, appaently, off the mirror in my van.  It was a LIFE pass, good for geisers, who do not have enough...
