You think I’m scared of you?
Oh timeless fear

Of your taste for light
Which gnaws at stars
And nether years?

Well I’m not

I’m indifferent

Staring without impudence
Into the moonlit eyes
On metal roofs
Where feet can fly

I need not hold or soil with soot
My hands to cup the sky
As is, as it wished

No, nameless fear
I fear you not

But to challenge me with ferociously
Just try and see
What becomes of truth

When you tell me I should be afraid of you
Just to terrify the mortal in me
Just try and bend my eyes away
From the first new sight of another day
And I’ll break your iron will in two
With my indifference

Try as you may
Your power holds no heavens over me

As a broken line of sight is free
From the abiding night which is stripped away

With dawn come every newborn day

Moonlight is a special ray
Which falls reflective upon us all
Not all, or all the time, at all

But slowly, and somberly, and softly
It starts with an edge of blue alive
And moves like a slow dance between stars ignite

Moonlight, my old friend
Even now in my minds eye
Over top of us, together, it comes to call

Does the ocean know where its own heart is?
Or the sand their numbers?
Or the rain its downfall?
No, not at all
It doesn't think of such things at all

Cold cream,
sweeping taste,
atop the hottest cocoa.
Pure bliss which
incites violent smiles
below my eyes.

If songs had bodies
Yours would be
So fine
And refined
And full of life
Most fine
