The Night of the Full Moon

With whom shall you spend the night tonight?

The rest of the sky’s inebriated in black
With all the stories of all men
Fixed upon like constellations

They hide behind the spread of light

Your eyes so full of laughter
Like tears that glisten when rolling down

With whom shall you spend the night?
