Each time you feel small, weak, sick, insufficient
Consider the subtle power of one, grey orphan
Luckless lunar lump, looping languidly through silence
Into the path of a blinding, bellicose beast, fat with light
Placed by infinite power with ineluctable precision
So that minor mocks and masks major, quietly drinking all fire
Everything is obscured by your curves, when you know your moves matter
