Huddling and cuddling I held you so lightly Do you remember those cold nights my child? You were mumbling and drooling, and cooed ever so slightly When I pointed at the moon, you looked up and smiled
“Mooooon!” I said to you, to which you replied, “Mooo!” And then I laughed a little - and maybe - I cried We’d shared an experience so unfathomable in consequence And by naming it, to you I had lied
Will you forgive me my child, for that cosmic crime? The moment when I stole that which shone in your eyes When you echoed my mistakes reverberating in time But ignorant, I wrapped you, so snugly in those dark skies
Do you remember those cold nights my child?
In this cold night, the moon has lit up full again Only tonight, our bodies share not this blanket of lights Disillusioned with disillusions we have become since then But still I wish to unwrap you from the words I write
My child, I ask you, look up once more, But let not facticity blindfold your sight Feel that which language bids you withhold And play I pray with the rabbit that lives in the sky
