The Reaches of the Bay

Plug your nose, the sewage reeks

Keep your gaze lifted, it speaks--

A yellow moon with slurred speech

Begging the tide to up its reach.

 

It gulps down another chug

Of its wax-sealed twilight ale

And begs once more: Tide, please,

Come wash away the waste that seeps.

 

The moon is tired, you see,

Of all the bottles and bags.

It drinks form the stars and the sky

Watching as the ocean meets its demise.
