FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

that god on the wall that mouth that thirsts for rain

that lean body stands beside
a wall
his hands raised surrendering
to the sky on the ceiling
the worshiper of love
bows down to the floor
of the earth
kneels and closes all eyes
in prayer
that soon the rain may come
and fill
the gaping mouth of the earth
that for many years
has been thirsting
