LIT UP POETRY
Dark Side of the Moon
She mad
The moon
will have to hold
this anger
I cannot release tonight
The power
of its tidal changes
must push and pull
carry and build
this fury within me tonight
The moonlight
will have to serve
as witness tonight
Stand guard
gate keeper
sentinel coal heaper
protector of
this flame within me tonight
Reminding me
I am
alive
warm
like the invisible blood
dripping down my body
after such a slaughter
This monocular orb
will have to absorb
this rising anger tonight
pouring into craters
storing in dead volcanoes
this endless wrathful lava
Trapped
it will wait
handing over
my nocturnal
vengeful vessel
transferring power
at first ray
to tomorrow’s sun
So that I may continue
nurturing
feeding
stoking
this inferno
that rages within me tonight
