Zywa
Old moon
Only if I don't pay attention
I see my thoughts
reflected in the world
and myself as a full moon
in the light of mankind
with, here and there, some spots
of defects, blood
shrinkage and disability
and shadows of bragging
then I know myself so light
as if I were the sun
as if it were me
who makes the moons shine
and the seagulls scream out
the day over the canal
Only now that I pay attention
I see the moons of my life
we are old
my thoughts and I, my world
from the new to the old moon
