The Teasing Moon.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

sometimes to
complete the woodenness of the floor
you simply have to close the door
make the planks
exclusive to
its beams
with all the nails
sleeping

the windows with open eyes
beg to be exempted
from the hassle
of privacy

the view of the sea making love to the sky
is simply irresistible
the moon is teasing you to take the boat

but to do this you need to open the door of the house
where no one lives.
