Inverted Image
September 25th, 2007
Night of the jelly fish
and starry plankton
The 40 pound ghost cat fish wiggles its whiskers
and the octopus sings for me:
kiss me, kiss me, kiss me now, oh pretty baby–
I’m a guest of the wind and
wildly tamed surf that pats the brown sand down:
Welcoming party for Nari
I watch the sea worms glow
the thicker ones made into chewy noodles
with black bean ice cream curd
and fried chewy anchovies potato chips
main course is maybe chicken
with alot of rice and red paste…
I smile a lot these days
I serenade the moon with midnight moos
to match the sirens of the incoming ships
moo to the ice cream and yogurt
and the cow and the cheese…
moooooooo…
but I miss cranberry sauce the most!
That’s okay,
The moon watches over me
my inverted image on the Yellow Sea
as it does you on the Gulf of Mexico.
It’s a beautiful holiday along the board walk,
Happy Thanksgiving/Chesok!
