Poem: Vacations On The Moon

Vacations On The Moon- Raeez Jacobs

Remember the weather

How the rain wet the scenery

And drenched the grass

We had planned to spread ourselves across

Remember the rainbow

Emerging in all its show

Across the patch of sky 

The sun usually employed to depart from

That day no night came

Leaving us no way of making love

Enshrouded in the uncanny glare 

Of sunshine searing our skins

Way past midnight 

Remember we awoke to a dark night

Owl eyed and mystified 

watching

The stars blink over our matutinal grogginess 

I let out a scream

You thought that you still roamed your dream

Feeling yourself to enlightenment

Remember how you held me

And how i squeezed you in the curl of my arm

You told me a story or two

Easing my agitation

And i sang you a song called

'vacations on the moon'

By which you deliquesced to 

Malt by my feet

Remember how my soul

Pulled you from liquid to bone

Reemerging in my arms

Remember all the things we learned

Observing anomalies

That for once

Had nothing to do with

You and i
