O iridescent Moon
I’ve been drinking your pale gleams
Sucking every drop
of your giant whiteness
I want you full
You irradiate my sunless sky
We are alone together
I envy the stars
Cos they seem so close to you
We cannot touch
Nor can them
But at least they dazzle you
I’m no celestial lover
Just a light dreamer
Let me befriend the heron
And forget my lunar projections.
