Quit lingering under my windowsill,

You stupid moon

I’ve got 10 manuscripts to rip

Carefully into 2’s and 3’s

Open up their guts

Into the sewer grates

With their blackened teeth

Gleaming full of gum wrappers

Since the silence from your side

Of the telephone line

My heart is beating hard all the time

I put your Prosecco to chill in the icebox

And stand here waiting for you to come up

The fire escape

You stupid

Pearl moon

With your empty gaze

And face full of acne scars.

I’ll give you 20 more minutes

Let your acrimony dissolve

On your great grey tongue

And then,

And I mean it

I will get myself a new

Watch with which

I will tell the time.

Poetry challenge

Lost time lingering,

Acrimony leaves a chill;

Invisible pearl.

It’s not the greatest but I enjoyed trying.
