Beautiful Cyst



The moon was a beautiful cyst
And I want to be like her.
I want to be an agitant:
A pearl in the oyster’s mouth,
Until the world spits me out.

Oddly enough the sea and lunar references fit well together.

not so oddly, when you think about the tide and things

Indeed, I like the juxtaposition of sea to moon. Comparing the moon to a pearl is also well thought out.

Also rather enjoying the reference within. Well done, Gabriel, this is an excellent piece.
