Pisces Child

Dare not stare at the moon

Pisces child

when the sun goes down

 

Like deep river fish

shoaling unending songs

in enraptured euphoria

you shall see no sleep

 

Like the foraging wolf

all night long

bridging the distance nigh

in solemn howl

discovering insomnia

as the lonely town 

it really is

 

Declare it thine phobia

Pisces child

to call it peaceful sleep

till night and day come to meet
