Lodging for the Night

desolate, dull and dreary in this courtyard dim
noises eerie of scraping and clicking
scurry on the periphery, creatures slinking
into the shade, sensing the need to escape
to hide far away

forbidden mysteries, secret sins
exchanged by the dime
but his appetites aren't quite the norm
nor his chilled, aphotic grin
normally chatty, she stays silent

movement black and blurred
sudden and grim
she's pushed up to the cold wall (so she don't fall)
pressed hard into the rough bricks
again and again and again

left alone now to be found
solitary and motionless, soon a large crowd
gathers round to gape
at internal organs
fleshed and splayed out

the price paid to earn
her lodging for the night

Moonlight Kite

I run with the kite in the field All the stars shining brightly The clear, moon-filled sky's expanse stretches wide String trailing behind me The kite lifts as I tug and pull A sharp jerk, I don't let it go Now, it's soaring high I let out more cord as it sails Above the ground, a sky ship Colorful in day, by night delicate Muted greys swerve and dip Yellow tails flutter from the bow As I slowly release more rope How far can it fly? Morning star on the horizon Near where the sun will be rising Dawn will soon arrive I remove small silver scissors Which glint in the twilight Setting the spool of coil onto the ground I look at the kite Kneeling down on my knees I snip the rope and release "Lord, send my prayers to him please" The kite, now free, rushes away My letter tied up with it sways With all of my hopes Every single word I could say I lay my head down on cool grass To find peace at last
