Phases

1. Monsoon starts metronome rain soothes like a muffled memory scruffy moon has lost his way in the ragamuffin sky

2. Morning moon staggers along wind-raked parapet like a drunk after his binge straining to get home before the dog pees on the carpet

3. On the beach at Hull watching tide-skirt moon overlapping breakwater slapping the runaway sea around like a bully boy parading in a torn undershirt

4. Guttersnipe moon streaking in the forest wind-chime chorus serenading his buck-naked fat tuchus gleaming cinder through branches causing such a ruckus

5. And still it rains extinguished moon body’s anesthesia forgetful flesh withering from bones languishing exuding the heat drenched lost in amnesia
