The Flight of the Moon Gallows

 

Vistas ascending, riding so high

The Moon Gallows flight through a feverish sky

Tightening its grasp on the dreamscapes of day

The Moon Gallows taunts the jeweled isles of Nights Bay

Fanciful tufts of insomniac tears

Tears an impasse in a minute of years

Groping the blue in a tormented throe

The mains’ils white light warps chimeras below

Phantasms dance on the zodiac gape

Together with souls on nocturnal escape

The Moon Gallows absconds from aurora’s soft quay

Forever to noose in the stilly of day
