THE MOON VANISHES TOO

The moon, the moon

so attached to my breast,

to my belly; I don’t look at it anymore

as I don’t look into the mirror

the moon, foggy,

lights faintly and only

reminds me of other moments

when along with its crescent

the full moon passion grew stronger

and you, wet on the pebbles

you thought you had captured

the meaning of creation;

you dreamed of a totally

metaphysical season

when not any impressive sun

would stop the poem — moon

since the silvery light

is always more erotic

than the golden light of day.

You thought, foolish girl

that you would wane

in the lascivious moon forever,

though the moon passes

it too vanishes.
