There was no moon that night



There was no moon that night
but the stars were falling
like flies and we rode our bikes
through dry lands and through
time until we reached
the bank of the river where
fish were jumping
with their open mouths
catching flies and mosquitoes
and falling stars.

There was no moon that night
but after a while she took off
her backpack
opened it and handed me
a bottle of white wine
and two crystal glasses wrapped
in paper and boy
was I surprised: this girl
thought about everything!

There was no moon that night
but nonetheless I enthusiastically
asked her if the next thing
she would do was to propose me
under the falling stars
but she suddenly threw me
a straight face and told me
not to get any ideas
because we are joking partners
that’s all we are!

There was no moon that night
but I tried to kiss her
while she distracted me
by tapping my shoulder and
pointing at the sky:
Look! You are missing all
the falling stars!

There was no moon that night
but the landscape was nonetheless
romantic and despite the perfect
alignment of stars there was
noone to conquer.
