When a cannonball nudged the moon


A cannonball nudged the moon

Powdered silver rust floats orphaned, astray

And it does not rain

They talk about it in hushed tones

Waiting for a turquoise night

But the dust envelops

Only a robot survives

Perhaps also a rocket launcher

Feeding on bread crumbs

Its greasy limbs, restless

Serenaded by a lost somebody

Anticipating a thunder storm

Then, drum rolls

Dust soar, evaporates

A faint melancholy

A colourless rain

A crimson sky

Period
