Stepping crow. Moon at half mast.

Dawn horse, horse, blanket and mule.

The fool knows something you don’t.

Stepping crow. Gone north of the Border.
Magic in motion and magic at rest.
Only divest, no need to announce it.

Stepping crow. Locked in from the outset.
Feet in the boat and we’re already rowing.
I don’t like thinking, I like already knowing.
