Beaver Moon …

 
A Beaver Moon is rising. The second to last moon this year. Penultimate. The Moon Year is coming to an end.

»I think, you should stop counting your Years in Moons«, said the llama, »and start focussing on the Sun. The Sun is the most powerful of the celestial bodies. And a Year on Earth is the time taken for Earth to revolve around the Sun.«

»A year is the time taken for astronomical objects to complete one orbit«, I think out aloud, »so Earth is the main player in this game. Earth's speed is what defines the length of one Earth Year. So maybe Earth is the most powerful of the celestial bodies.«

»How Earth centristic of you, dude. But at least you admit that Earth is orbiting the Sun and not the other way around.«

»Science«, I spit out the word, »nothing but fake news. And scientists? Nothing but liars and fakers.«

»Are we changing roles now, dude?« asks the llama. »Are you having a denying stroke now? Are you playing the denier of science and truths and facts now?«

»I am just tired, animal«, I say. »Let's go to bed. Good Night!«

Beaver Moon

Yes, I′m being followed by a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Leaping and hopping on a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my hands
Lose my plow, lose my land
Oh, if I ever lose my hands
Oh, if, I won't have to work no more

And if I ever lose my eyes
If my colours all run dry
Yes, if I ever lose my eyes
Oh, if, I won′t have to cry no more

Yes, I'm being followed by a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Leaping and hopping on a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my legs
I won't moan, and I won′t beg
Oh, if I ever lose my legs
Oh, if, I won′t have to walk no more

And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth, north and south
Yes, if I ever lose my mouth
Oh, if, I won't have to talk

Did it take long to find me?
I ask the faithful light
Oh, did it take long to find me?
And, are you gonna stay the night?
