Earthbound and Inert


Look—up in the sky! 
The lunatic moon’s salivating, 

Spewing quicksilver- 
Lined trails of spit 

For all us snails 
To drool over before 

We get too phlegmy 
To take off likewise

Lickety-split.

  1. That's the kind of sky we don't get to see here in the light-drenched city.

    Spewing quicksilver

    I love the pairing of these words.

  2. Thanks, Duncan--one of the pleasures of a living on the outskirts of this small country town--the sky's your limit, day and night.
