Ballad of the Moon, Moon
The moon came to the forge
wearing a bustle of nards.
The boy is looking at her.
The boy is looking hard.
In the troubled air,
the wind moves her arms,
showing lewd and pure,
her hard, tin breasts.
'Run, moon, moon, moon.
If the gypsies came,
they would make of your heart
necklaces and white rings.'
'Child, let me dance.
When the gypsies come,
they will find you on the anvil
with your little eyes shut tight.'
'Run, moon moon moon.
I can hear their horses.
Child, let me be, don't walk
on my starchy white.'
The rider was drawing closer
playing the drum of the plain.
In the forge the child
has his eyes shut tight.
Bronze and dream, the gypsies
cross the olive grove.
Their heads held high,
their eyes half open.
Ay how the nightjar sings!
How it sings in the tree!
The moon goes through the sky
with a child in her hand.
In the forge the gypsies
wept and cried aloud.
The air is watching, watching.
The air watched all night long.

What a great picture! I am writing a blog about lying (www.online-dating-mastery.com/the-science-of-online-datin...) and was searching for photos of liars (I know, good luck, right?) on here and came across this one because it had "liar" in the title.
I love the idea of a "Liar's Moon", and I think it would make an awesome addition to the post I just made about lying online. I would love the opportunity to use this photo, giving you title and photo credit, of course.
Thank you--JT
