RIC S. BASTASA - about the moon

2014-06-15 4 Dailymotion

While in china at night on the great wall <br />By a hill, there he writes about the moon <br />His shadow his flute and his <br />Cup of rice wine, <br />Then he sings for a while <br />And sleeps under a sky of stars <br />On a blanket of soft grass, <br /> <br />When he immigrated <br />To the American city <br />He writes differently now <br /> About the moon <br />As the companionless <br />wanderer <br /> <br />The head of a murdered man <br /> Rolling on the floor <br />Uncontained by a sack <br />A moon <br /> <br />Or some kind of a fluorescent <br /> Truant <br />A silver circular corpse <br />Infected with AIDS, <br />That corpuscle confusing <br />And ovulating <br /> <br />Him, spoon feeding <br />Her with so much longing <br />Date-rape drug, where she howls like <br />A bitch <br /> <br />To the moon in that great American <br />City <br /> <br />I just like it here, <br />The moon is still my <br />Moonchild <br />my fair lady of the night <br /> <br />In all shining glory <br />Above the mango tree, <br /> <br />In this little country..<br /><br />RIC S.
