The Moon’s Sonata by Asya Acun
As the moon flickers in space and time,
All is calm, all is ready to roar
Maybe the storm is approaching, but I don’t mind
Right at this moment I experience a blissful night.
A reflection, pieces of my broken heart
The ocean gets stronger with the moon’s light
Clouds form in the abyss, they approach
On a boat with no soul, nor a life.
My rage and guilt
Is trapped within spirits.
They dance on top of my head
And make a swirl that swallows the universe
The ground beneath me disappears,
Leaving me with the echoes of her name.
A haunting voice from the distance,
Giulietta, Giulietta, Giulietta…
Is it your shadow I see, dancing with the moonlight?
What would happen if we both descended into the sea,
And danced forever on top of the moon and its stars?
