THE MOON THAT IS NOT THERE
I know you, nostalgia
that comes upon you suddenly,
slightly slows the run that
has left you breathless and disappointed you.
If the world around us
no longer resembles us,
share it with me;
I shall take it and cast it far away.
And bright in the evening,
you will be the moon that is not there.
In the lighter air
your warm hand is on me.
And perhaps you do not even imagine
how big this sky is,
how much space there is here within me
and will be now that
you too want me like this.
You will find your magic again,
either star in love,
for how much night there is still
in this night that has just been born!
Darkness will bring
with it its ghosts
and if you are not sleeping
I shall listen to you and hold you tighter.
And bright in the evening,
you will be the moon that is not there.
With how much tenderness
you come closer and mingle with me.
And perhaps you do not even imagine
how big this sky is,
how much space there is here within me
and will be now that
you too want me like this.
With how much tenderness
you come closer and mingle with me
And perhaps you do not even imagine
how big this sky is,
how much space there is here within me
and will be now that
you too want me like this,
now that you want me like this,
you too.
