lyrics

We gathered round you like moths to a light
You were feeling bad so we swarmed to sympathize.

I slowly moved my body to yours.
My hand reached out to stroke your back of its own accord.
I thought this was something neither of us had ever wanted,
but it was inevitable, like a reflex.

I felt the soft parts of you,
your neck, your wings, your thighs, your stomach.
We hovered

Your spouse came downstairs,
with your daughter.
We raised our heads, as your light flickered out and the heat dissipated.

I backed away from your body
and the warmth was lost in the space between us.
I watched you face him, halfway up the stairs.
He wasn't looking at you, but at your daughter.
"You are invisible, you're not the moon."

We hovered
