Adieu April 2016



Day 30

April 2016 has come and gone 
i'll remember this one
neptune
swirling me about
throwing me in the air
catching me on his trident


midnight moon tripping
in seattle
deep sea diving
with the mermaids
teaching sailors to swim
walking the plank
at the end of a pirate's cutlass
it's been a sea odyssey

until next year
arrivederci

(same time same place)

  1. The constellations
    are different for hemispheres,
    but if you train your eyes
    carefully, you can see
    Sinbad the Sailor gleefully
    chasing his water-spirit
    across the sky.

    You see,
    she owes him a dance,
    and he is eager to collect
    her into his arms
    and spin her across
    the Milky Way.

    They tend to align in April.
