By The Light of The Silvery Moon

Bruce McRae

Another full moon
skulking round the yards
and gardens of our sad little town,
shining its grey lamp
over human ignominy
and human invention,
picking the lock
of our church’s back door,
highlighting the cures
displayed in the pharmacy’s window,
scarcely enough illumination
to read the poster there
announcing last summer’s circus.

Come on, come all,
it excitedly insists.
See the friendly giant juggling
kittens and midgets.
Stand and marvel
before the world’s unhappiest clown.
Ogle our beautiful sword-swallower.
Witness the disparity
between animal and man.
