The Moon is Fake
Lucianna Peralta is a junior who enjoys reading sci-fi and contemporary fiction in her free time. Her favorite authors are Tracy Deonn and Olivie Blake because of the complex characters and diverse plot.
The stragglers glisten
unlike the dark daunting fright
that hovers and waits
for an arched ceiling
to collapse under sight.
Whoever comes to,
has only the splints to listen to
in the night.
This one wants to leave–
long and chasing,
she’s gone.
Feeling alone when truly free
but alive when comely done.
The reflection of the fake moon waned,
accompanied with the billow of the wind as the
light blinds from afar.
Seemingly endless
this moment lasts,
as the plunk of the plunder
shivers and banks.
Unable to find the one
that listens,
that heeds,
This leads the light to ascend
and tear spirit from breath.
