+| [The moon is drowning][] the stars it pushes them
+| under into the darkness they cannot breathe
+| they are flailing the moon boasts to my shadow
+| how powerful is the moon how great its light
+
+| My shadow nods and calls the moon father though
+| it acknowledges also the existence of others
+| headlights are like little moons father my shadow says
+| they pass like waves in a dark ocean
+
+| Father moon becomes angry and threatens
+| I can maroon you shadow I can trap you in darkness
+| your strength comes from my own the little moons
+| are fleeting like foam on a darkened sea
+
+| My shadow fears the night as it fears death
+| but it remembers the moon's strength is from another
+| my shadow wants the headlights like an ocean
+| might want the moon as a seducer as a lover
