  • Don't tell me the moon ...

    There are footprints on the soft and wild moon and command over the tides and tilt of earth. Yes, I have heard that the moon is a cruel mistress. She has to be, she dies every morning and then takes a yearly sacrifice to rise again each and every night, holding at ransom, the ocean tides and the tilt of the earth.~I came, while it was still night and I was scared. It was a cold night, the ground covered in biting frost.“I don’t want to die,” I said holding tight something that was inside me.“Who said you are going to die?”“I have been chosen.”I looked at the moon which was looking back at me. ...QMkone door
