Surprise Me!

Giorgio A. V. - - Laughing Moon

2014-11-07 1 Dailymotion

Our seaward route defines the night's mistrust, <br />recites untruths, upon the waters' wakes, <br />the brines transmit upon the breeze my past, <br />with demons transferring my last mistakes. <br /> <br />They are my ocean pals! From dark sea depths <br />they jump and dance inducted like buffoons, <br />and holding violins or brass trumpets, <br />they gallivant around with looney tunes. <br /> <br />Meanwhile the stars, elusive, send their spark, <br />my pals embark on boats with wooden laughs, <br />discerning critics of our ghostly barque, <br />where waxen maids regale on moon's behalf. <br /> <br />Some lovely group! Night's theater folklore, <br />with drunk musicians and chords distuned, <br />who awkward smile with swollen lips to yore, <br />in front of a half-hidden laughing moon. <br /> <br />They sing for me! Hoarse sounds, guitars' slack strings, <br />brass horns, vociferous trombones and lyres; <br />my joker pals in airy jumps they sing, <br />transmitting brassy, foolish laughs and tears. <br /> <br />And dancing they absorb my stare and thought, <br />with anchor amulets that neck-chains hold, <br />away they glide, like seaport prayers besought, <br />upon magnificent of seas to voyage bold. <br /> <br />Saluting me, a dancer higher jumps <br />('mid pandemonium tunes - on marble delf!) <br />and as the  laughing chorus plays paeans, <br />avaunt he sails resembling myself.<br /><br />Giorgio A.
