lyrics

moths float dark
over rapid waters
or at the park.
they bounce right
on the streetlight.

what are they doin’ up there, anyway?
they’re doing that all night long!

if I were a moth
so say, I would remark,
“float so light
down by the park.”

And SING!
FLAP MY WINGS!

play now, minstrels,
rise and leap!

in turns, the dancers draw the deed
like poison from a snake’s bite, deep.
the whirling circlers must repeat.
pheromones tonight! the band to play
but soon, the night will steal away
with its soft-eyed lover.

they’re hand-in-hand.

these stars like moths
my lungs complain
the dark so deep
they’ll lose their way

as if it were a trajectory you could calculate in any case!
