observations of a moth

This was a poem i created in late 2006. This was just before I started Marshall U...

see the moth
a lunatic pants wildly
wings of the unveiling eye
master of toadstools
hungry cats
and old men with boats

fire's somewhere
flowing rivers
redness of a blushing cheek
old lover of
the sphinx and his brood
lords of animals
faces mundane and exotic
mutual games of
harlots and virgins

seas of the silent storm
a womb for something
nothing
ringing of the bell
on a nearby shore far away
fall of shadows
triumph of fire
