New poem #3: Through the curtain

Through the curtain


I close the curtains of my bedroom window

nothing is out there on the street to see


no stalking cat nor bat cutting the moonlight

nothing but the wind the stones the sea


and on the moon herself the same expression

as struck with shock as she was yesterday


the only change of note is my own mood swing

and even that is as predictable as the sky


the single constant is the overarching question

as I seal off my opaque curtain to ask why


this realm of faint illusion and deep deception

continues with vibration on its merry way


what possible humanly comprehensible reason

represents its separation of night from day


what separates the earth from a moving ocean

how inner struggle gives these games away
