The Stolen Moon

The King asks her to marry
She asks to set the rules
The King asks her to fix things
She asks to be excused.
The Crow asks for water
The Crow asks for gold
The Crow asks for blood
She asks him to let go.
The Oracle asks for company,
She only asks to learn
They eat and talk together
And ask nothing in return.
The Chaser does not speak
But the question’s in his eyes
She asks how to escape
And through a normal gate she flies.
The Watchdog asks her to come home
He smiles and says ‘please’
She does not ask- she grabs
And brings him to his knees.
The Chaser asks her
But she does not understand
He speaks the question with his steps
And the answer’s in his hands.
The Moon asks her for a safe return
She asks forgiveness for her crimes
She only asks for a release
From ‘Once upon a time’.
