the moon is sliced in half tonight
luminous in blackness

captivate my energies,
reconnect my circuitry

One more season to go

we just might make it
through this alive

no longer haunted
by the ugly ghosts of yesterday

the pulling tides
tugging,
gnawing at my mind

chickens bock comfortingly,
vultures no longer circle

Pour out my pain,
etch ink into my skin

Edit, delete.

loneliness retreats to the
dark corners of my mind

learning healthier patterns
wearing a happier face
