RABBIT FEARS THE MOON

When I call your name
I can see the night
I aim my arrow at the moon
Shining hard and bright

Snake consumes the hollow sun
I feel the heavens move
Coyote calls to rabbit
Rabbit fears the moon

No longer do I call my fears
Into the hollow sky
My faith is in the distant stars
In the origins of light

The earth has frozen to my feet
And night is coming down
Rabbit hollers at the moon
Coyote hears a sound

Frozen in the full moon's light
I do not call my fear
Shrouded in the veil of night
A point of light appears

I do not know to whom I speak
Each time that I look up
But if my fears can call the wolves
What would I draw with love

My heart is cracking open
Cosmic light is pouring out
I lift it up to show the moon
Coyote hears a sound

He knows that I am injured
My heart, it has been snared
I cannot find a place to hide
The moonlight lays me bare

I aim my arrow at the moon
Her wounds, the same as mine
She draws the worries of the world
And transforms them into light

She shines down on the lonely earth
On the creatures of the night
She can see our every wound
Fractures mended by her light.
