Ashes and Snow

"In the beginning of time, the skies were filled with flying elephants.
Every night they lay down in the same place in the sky,
And dreamt with one eye open.

When you gaze up at the stars at night, you are looking into the unblinking 

eyes of elephants, who sleep with one eye open,
To best keep watch over us..."

from Ashes and Snow, Gregory Colbert
