Rising with the Moon
 
Rising with the moon,
over all the nonsense
of day, the sky shines
like diamonds. Its stars
 
and flying machines
are distant like the love
I am over with. I get
lost in the dark sky.
 
I prefer night when
water fills my eyes.
The scent of flowers,
of grass, in the garden,
 
it reminds me of you.
The war for love is
over.  My sweet flower
I drink in your honor.
 
The moon towers over
me and the stars die.
I am with you even
though I am not with you.
There is sand in my eye.
Seas have spurted out.
