After a very busy spring I get back to my writing by sorting through my piles of work and find some small pieces I did for fun, which I think are worth sharing. Here’s one:
Night Fable
Moon menders bring the moon
to full circle, then go on vacation.
They return to find every carefully
threaded crystal has been nibbled away,
begin again to gather, polish,
tie in place each glowing granule.
A Senator proposes posting a guard.
The menders stage a protest,
rouse the populace with claims
the nibblers will go hungry.
Senate Finance Committee blocks
the proposal: it’s too expensive.
Their jobs secure for now,
the menders return to work.
What do you think? Is it wacky enough to make sense?
