Day 14 – Proverb of Unreason

Half way!  Here is today’s Harrsion quote for the mid point of 28 Days of Unreason, followed by my poem entitled Proverb of Unreason.

“The moon is to blame.  I am innocent”  

~Jim Harrison from Songs of Unreason

Proverb of Unreason

In that prove-you-wrong paradise

where the moon is a powerful

feather eating your liver

for lunch

guard your days build

walls around your blamelessness

constructing alibis of devastation

Flies

I am Wolf
      running
      howling
moon growling

grit beneath my feet
bones betwixt my teeth

     Feral

fair all these
bright days
searing nights
sounding before me

tree breath
filling these lungs

lunge
leap
yowling

frame chained
to clock
to desk

yet

soul untethered unleashed

Writing Quadrilles over at dVerse!

Rhapsody

Waning gibbous dance us toward that newest

Night of birth and rebirth budding

Bursting out from expiration

Skyward vine twirling

With the night bugs

Reaching

Grasping

Inhale the sun that rose

Into thy lungs unfurl each phase

And chapter write with blossom of delight

Circling the Sun

Unaccustomed beauty
Sad the moon singing who will
wax a symphony?

Beauty could but chant
With enormous ache drunken
Urge yet wane all the same

The shadow woman
Her bitter hair wants meaning
Driving death bare armed

Soaring summer sky
Worship with a frantic wind
Rip thy garden gown
