The Mudman 04:32
I'm going to form a mudman and then I'll wake him up Time doesn't hold the mudman a friend time breaks him down I shaped his life with my hands but now I see he won't last forever he's only mud up from the river his bones won't keep together they're not so hard - sticks from that river why animate the mudman? why wake him up? I know I'm just a mudman like he is I'm breaking down both melt into the water again both must dissolve

Moonrise 05:35
moonrise mercifully again revive that which waits in silence to speak in prayer stars shine how like you I am a mere mote of light in darkness when day has fled distant planets I'll never know perceive me as the tiniest glow that alone's no reason to be no need for what illuminates me cool night come claim me as one bestill now this restless murmur of will defiant speak now unveil your true face preserve me from useless burning alone in space distant planets I'll never know perceive me as the tiniest glow that alone's no reason to be no need for what illuminates me midnight peace steals over me the din of the frogs and insects puts me at ease visions come to me again remind me that pregnant darkness is never at rest distant planets I'll never know perceive me as the tiniest glow be that as it is I can't forget those which have not taken form yet small hours of expectancy beget an exhilaration for what could be dew forms a blessed respite slaking thirsts of those who called out in the live of the night distant planets I'll never know perceive me as the tiniest glow be that as it is I can't forget those which have not taken form yet
