Poem – TONIGHT’S EARLY MORNING (By John Tustin)

March 31, 2020 Antarctica Journal

TONIGHT’S EARLY MORNING   I open my window in the middle of tonight’s Early morning after the nightly thunderstorms To hear the cry of a lone bird flying through the fog And looking for a place safe and dry, his wings Weighted down with water and sleepiness   The way I am weighted down with the memories Of her laughter […]

March 4, 2020 Antarctica Journal

CRESCENT MOON   You reside In this room That stinks Like moonlight   And me. Crescent Moon Pries as She is wont   To do In rooms That stink Like her light,   Where only Silence Is Uttered,   Sharper than The silver Flashing In my hair.
