Yard Sale of Thoughts

The Moon is a Yo-Yo

Katie Frances Hartless
, ,

The moon is a yo-yo,

and god holds the string.

After a night of drinking,

I can see the thing spin,

tricks in the dark

with a flick of the wrist.

A sleeper waiting for the pick.

A Cat in the cradle,

spool of fate,

relying on gravity to

perfectly time each trick.

Slipknot forms a ring.

We have an eternity to make

this combo stick.

      Thank you, Tom. Moonlight and I have been making friends these past few years. I want to be a morning person, really I do, but i don’t think I have it in me.
