My Final Blue Supermoon

Moontime is loony time

It’s been a loony few days

Things are odd and awry

While the Moon slowly fattens

And gets more golden

Like a lopsided giant apricot

So ripe it’s rotten

This is a moon for the misbegotten

For the frightened and lonely

On this anxious planet

Everybody knows that

On the night of the Supermoon

Strange things are afoot

Accidents kill, sudden desires bloom,

Fires erupt, floods sweep away

The ground you stand on

and babies

are born too soon

Tonight is the last Blue Supermoon

Of my life

It’s a doozy

Not another one like it

For 14 years

I won’t be here

This is it

My last chance to escape from

The dark side of the Moon

Shed everything & dance

Naked and loony

Like those old crones

The madwomen

The witches

They used to hang

And burn in a trance

Of hatred

These are unquiet times

I grab my hat and drive

My beat up old Celica

Another celestial vehicle

To the Sea

To see this golden Moon rising

Like a clockwork orange

I hope it will inspire

A deep desire for redemption

For ease and surcease

For remembering that everything returns

Even love

You know that song

Blue Moon you saw me standing alone

A boy wrote it, skating on an icy river

Shivering and hoping

That love and fame would find him

Though the clouds are blocking my view

I know you are up there

Eternal like love

My old friend and trickster

Difficult but true
