Imagine that you could talk to the moon; understand the voice of the wind; or taste the iron blood of a mountain lion’s fresh kill? Do these things seem absurd? Then ask yourself the question: How do you know that what you see is real? The brain and eyes filter what we see…or don’t see.
What crackling glimpses come from dreams? Is there really any such thing as a dream - or do we just exist in perpetual dream, moving in and out of one to another? Perhaps time is not linear - but circular - and therefore irrelevant. Time is based upon our perception of longevity. We have the lifespan of a fruit fly compared to that of an ancient tree or sacred rock.
How far should we go to change what we ‘see’? What monsters and miracles might be created? Do we ever change anything without the power of a greater hand. Then, do we change anything?
Written in a nuanced and sometimes lyrical way, ‘Asking the Moon to Leave’ scratches through the veneer of reality to play with its kill. It accelerates into a complicated mystery of coincidences and people who initially seem unconnected. Its protagonists start as two points of light; and within what appears to be a lunar cycle - they live a lifetime.
As ‘RC’ and ‘Anna’ unravel a dark mystery and pursue an ancient romance, what becomes apparent is how easy the human miracle can get blood on its hands - while gazing at a sparkling canopy of stars.
