The Moon

'Shining in borrowed feathers'*1
                                         cursed to have Face scars *2
                                        shines still to lovers' s delight  



                              (  *1 : Moon shines because of Sun;
                                  *2 : scars which are scars due to 
                                meteorite bombardment, mythologically
                                stands to be scars due to a curse on the Moon
                               hurled by his father-in-law)
