#533 me and the moon

a frozen night illuminated by nine tenths of a full moon
leaves mount fernie a ghost of its daytime self
and me illuminated by a forty watt bedside lamp
feel like a skeleton of my daytime self
spent
like a kid's dollar in a new candy shop
empty
like a chewed sucker-stick
i see the mountain
and i wonder how it achieves beauty
day and night
