Once I saw the moon
On a dark night in the woods:
Heart, don't be greedy.

Venus keeps shining
When all the stars have faded
Blackbirds start to sing

Raging sea above

Of industrial estates
And the bin lorry.

Winter rains. Deep mud.
Left foot sinks, right foot slithers.
No-one's seen the sun.

Crescent moon at dawn
Watching the doe and her child.
Hoofprints in the frost.

Between two towers
of moonlit cloud: Orion.
Glory is fleeting.

Tawny owls calling
The white star in the black pines
Shines coldest at dawn
