He sat beaming – eyes a gleaming

Drawing me in, can’t help staring
Dear God, how long has it been?

Lapin Agile is French for "Nimble Rabbit". There are many references to rabbits and moons - one that caught my attention is the story of Buddha disguising himself as a rabbit and sacrificing himself in fire to the god Indra.
