The moon is a hole in the sky tonight,
not reflecting light but pouring radiance
from some other sky into this one.
Like a searchlight beam on a prison wall,
it scans the ground for escapees.
The moon is a hole in the sky tonight.
One could read a paper by its light
but why bother, when the news is
not reflecting light but pouring radiance
Even the skin on even my hands
shines like a secret language
from some other sky into this one.
From some other sky into this one,
not reflecting light but pouring radiance,
the moon is a hole in the sky tonight.
