1. Salem mediated between the sun and the moon
So I told them that I was pleased with his mediation

2. And had another tried to mediate between us
We would have feared an eclipse, as his gravity burdened the earth

3. I caution you against stealing veils and who
Could extend a hand to lightning to steal its flash

4. Yes, I directed my mind’s mirror
To your sun and drew its image to please

5. They blame me for Salem and I blame them
While the skin between the eye and the nose is safe
