The clocks go back

it is dark outside,
the runny-egg moon
glows yellow behind
a watery cloud
and the wind frisks
my vine-bent body
for evidence of joy,
what joy, i ask
the moon, secure
in its ancient grin,
the moon winks
and mouths something
that i cannot make out,
like a clock with 13
numerals

"the wind frisks/ my vine-bent body/ for evidence of joy"

--- and here is evidence of joy, to read language this fresh and this alert, on October 27th, birthday of two noted poets (Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath). I am really liking this poem!
