Super moon

Watching Fame

the original movie, 1980

outside the super moon

is bright in the sky

like god left the light on

if you believe in god

on the Novia Scotia coast

tides are expected to rise

by more than 50%

I keep forgetting to buy

face products and my skin

is showing its flaws

dry and fragile

the moisture has been sucked away

something in me is raging

I weep or is it a sob –

time has beaten me

meanwhile the small stories

of ambition on the TV are the

same then as now

all that vicious hope

for what the future will bring
