How deeply do I love me?
Asked the moon of the moon.
I would drown but to kiss my face--
I would drown but to change my place
How deeply do I love me?
Asked the moon of the moon.
Too much, too much....
Asked the moon of the moon.
I would drown but to kiss my face--
I would drown but to change my place
How deeply do I love me?
Asked the moon of the moon.
Too much, too much....
(The view made me think of Langston Hughes's poem "Suicide's Note"--"The calm/Cool face of the river/Asked me for a kiss."--without the fatalism!)
The dark bump in the water in the foreground is a frog.
