The Disaster in Room 2002






I must be an idiot or a glutton for punishment. Or maybe something worse still. Some things don't die, no matter how hard you beat them.



Luna


The moon rises over the roof
And sets in a similar way.
As we sleep on unconcerned
And wait impatiently for the day.

The sun and moon in passing
Pause for a brief word.
Each considers the other's lot
In the theater of the absurd.

Even changeable, always waxing
Or waning on the way to bed,
The moon chooses full but then
Heads to gibbous instead.
