Month: December 2009

communion-white push pin
stuck in inky black sky, moon.
you’re brighter than anyone else
in the room.

white-hot poker in the sky
moon. so very intriguing.
until you burn.

Jim would like to buy a vowel,
moon. but he gets home too late.
(and he hasn’t a clue)

Moon-of-Fortune

it’s a good day to clean out the attic
moon. get rid of some cobwebs.
make more room for you.

it’s been snowin for 48 hours
moon. you’ve been watchin us shovel…
why don’t you take a turn?

take you on in a game of scrabble
moon. if you lose the first round
you can take off a shoe…

the sky’s full of snowflakes and crystals
moon. and we’re wishin the merriest
Christmas to you.

thanks for scraping the windows and
startin the car. if it weren’t for you, moon
we wouldn’t get very far.

(pull over)
(Jim’s gotta pee)
(again, Jim? geez…)

come in and warm up moon.
take your boots off and stay.
we got a mean bean bag toss game in the hallway…

($10 says you’ll play)

things from here on will get longer
moon. there’ll be stories and road trips and
Jim’s crazy rules.

(Jim tries to take over wherever we go)
(you mighta guessed we’re on to him though)
