Aquarian Lunacy

10 January 2009
Flour Bluff, Texas

Tonight, moon is at her brightest, widest ;
Pulling ocean tides to rise much higher ;
There’s no denying eccentricity
That’s causing her orbit to slow diverge.

Though sun and earth and moon so soon converge
In a brief moment of sweet syzygy ;
There’s no sign that man is any wiser,—
It’s still terror’s game played by the maddest.
