The Moon Will Sing A Song For Me

The Moon Will Sing A Song For Me

“The moon will sing a song for me

I loved you like the sun

Bore the Shadows that you made 

With no light of my own” 

Listening to The Crane Wives “Moon Will Sing” and this image dropped directly into my brain. Another wolf shapeshifter? In this house? More likely than you think. 

Image Id: A young man with short brown hair falls through the sky. His right arm dangles limply and his left reaches for a yellow waxing gibbous moon. He wears a long sleeved cream shirt with an x pattern stitched around the wrists and black claw-shaped buttons. His brown belt has the same x pattern. He wears black pants and brown boots with black leather laces and soles. A wolf pelt hangs around his shoulders bound by a white tooth beneath his chin. The wolf’s head is a hood over his troubled face. His eyes are open; the skin’s are closed. He’s lit above by the moon and below by three blue clouds.

A series of brown board walks are suspended by stilts over a blue pool filled with lily pads. Facing away from the camera near the top, there is a black man walking on one branch of the boardwalk on the other branch there is a multiracial gay couple walking hand in hand. Near the bottom, there is a woman with a hijab walking. To her right there is a black woman running after a black girl. None of them see the skeleton of a basilosaurus, an ancient whale, in the pond in the far right of the canvas. Near the center one asian woman pauses to look at the whale.

I love how delightfully strange ancient whales look. They haunt me. This one haunts these walkers too.

A 13 year-old squats in a puddle of blood in 3/4 view with her back mostly to the camera. She has black and white converses, black pants, and an oversized jean jacket with the sleeves rolled up around her wrists. On the shoulder of the jacket, there's a black circular patch with a red dog's paw in the center. The half of her head closest to the camera has shaved short, pink hair. The other half of her head has three spikes of pink hair with the last one falling over her face. She smokes a cigarette nonchalantly. The smoke swirls over her shoulders and coalesces above her head in the silhouette of a snarling dog. Its eye is a glittering red diamond. The background is a dark green that becomes slightly bluer towards the center, vertical strokes give a sense of walls closing in.

Another day, another oc (Dogslobber) and another osha violation. (pretty sure 14 year olds are not legally allowed to smoke and that blood puddles are work place hazards).
