What if the moon were a mortal?

<p>&lsquo;If a poet falls in love with you<br/>you can never die&rsquo;<br/>I read somewhere.<br/>But what if he burns his art O foolish stranger?<br/>What if he burns his poems?<br/>Isn't that the most painful<br/>kind of death there is?<br/>You get a small taste of immortality<br/>before you're stripped of it;<br/>before you're forced into being a simple<br/>mortal<br/>who'll never be<br/>remembered by anyone<br/>all over again.<br/>I see nothing worse than that.</p>
