Angry like the Moon by Caroline Ryan

Morning,
and your voice interrupts the old dream
where I still run down old roads and unfamiliar streets,
never stopping for long.

Night,
and my restless turning
won鈥檛 quiet its angry rhythm.

You stand between them,
a perfect interruption,
a steadfast calm inside all the roads
you鈥檝e taken.

I would prefer the moon to glow less angrily,
influence me to turn more easily.

Years gone,
I am angrier than the moon
and your voice, another road that intrigues.
