The Moon Appears And She Is Blue Poem by Shirley Harrison

The Moon Appears And She Is Blue

As if the day turned black

and the sun turned a dirty shade of grey

awaiting eagerly

just for one last poem to read, from you?



the very last goodbye?



a poem in which

the universe explodes

into silence and nothingness



and as I sit at the end of my bed

my dry eyes closed

waiting of course

for all the clocks to stop



the moon appears



and she is blue.
