Poem of the Week * October 27 to November 2, 2002
Moonlit Night in Kern County
Wild savages,
powered by MD 20-20,
run naked in the moonlight,
glowing wooded fairies,
like childish fireflies,
lighting and dipping into
natural hot springs down the canyon.
Howl at the moon.
Slabs of concrete rise, monoliths, sentinels
lay bare offering the table for sacrifice.
The open air concert plays on,
humming,
as fireflies transform to pups,
yipping and biting at each other's tails
playing in the moon-beam,
oooooing into the sky.
So the musical plays out
in a memory that glints like
moonlight in my mind.
