The Rocking Horse Moon

Peach coloured waning moon

Rocking horse ridden through deep deep space 

Only the rockers illuminated

Only the peach coloured rockers glisten


The black muzzled horse and the black cloaked rider

Invisible to my half blind eye

As I track the trajectory of the moon

Through antiquated opera glasses


There is no Man in the Moon I mutter

There is no horse on peach coloured rockers

But the child in my dreams is weeping rose petals

The child in my dreams is too sad to weep tears


Meanwhile the moon slowly wanes to a sliver

Beneath the bridle of the black cloaked rider
