Night Cape

In the womb of night

We whisper soft lies

To our beloved ones

To make them believe

In this make believe world

Of stars sequined on Earth

And moon's conquest of the sky

A Cinderella tale of fairies and wands

As fickle as the seasons 

As free-willed as dunes of sand

Breezes that blow of wants and angst

Shall whip away in no time

The princess of no-land

Then whom shall we whisper

Those unabashed lies

Of stars spreadeagled on Earth

And skyless moon maligned
