Some workmen were erecting a giant Christmas tree in the plaza. They put one up every Christmas, but this time I noticed the star topper was... in the shape of a magic pentagram! -- and I was inspired to do something audacicous and daring.
Using the power of the pentagram, I would trap the Moon and hold her captive.
Unreachable Selene; fickle, inconstant Moon that Romeo couldn't swear by; her proud, indifferent beauty -- now mine to keep.
At least her image, if not the Moon herself.
