watercolor moon

watercolor moon by Zachary Troyano

harboring that hate in your heart

kept you heavy,

it’s time you came up for air.

you’ve been busy drifting

aloof, splashing blues, the watercolor

moon would like a word with you.

towel dry that damp hair

life passed and it turned cold out there.

deep fish don’t make dance partners

give a loose curtsey and let’s go,

knockoff clowns shed their scales

under murky disco.

you knew better too, how quickly

living in light can set to shade,

the watercolor moon warned you

all tides have a tendency to change.
