Tasting Skies

The full moon and me            
are old friends              
hi-fivin at four am              
while the shooting stars                
are doing their thing              
we just chill              
And for a moment                
I can forget            
about climate              
Covid                
starving kids              
& women's rights--              
seeing the world              
in a different light              
where every wrong              
is forgiven              
even though                
life's darkest truth                
waits to screw us all              
like a barefoot whore      
who's mislaid her panties              
sneaking quietly upstairs          
to pull her next trick
