farewell my old skin
tattooed to amuse myself
words no longer true
~~~
this joy so fragile
my moon so white and slender
a breeze could take it
~~~
you sense the old man 
with one more sad tale to tell
let star-gazing win
~~~
what of the coconut-
atom wrestles ocean
for the fabled shore
~~~
the man in the moon
disregarding all evil
takes a giant leap
