More Mad Duck

One night Mad Duck had a disturbing dream.
A skeleton dressed in feathers and gold swept into his room.
"Mad Duck!" she cried. And the sky went orange.
"It's coming for us all!" She flew around his head,
up, up into the stars, then she lifted the moon off
its hook in the sky. She cradled it in her arms
and began singing. Then the sky turned dark
while her shadow grew bigger and bigger,
and the moon cried.
