Only if the Moon Rocks

(from the moon series)

fall from the sky on fire
and the blood of the sun
leaks in through the atmosphere,

then I will bake you a cake
with my heart
and then I won't have a heart
anymore
so I'll just bake you a small cake

and put half my heart in it
and we'll dance like we're on hot coals
and flail our arms like we're catching
lightning bugs and you'll look at me
with lightning in your eyes
and you'll breathe in the breath
of ages and you'll exhale
the dark side of the moon.

    I love the last line, "you'll exhale the dark side of the moon."
