Lunita de Lejos

Faraway moon
naked dagger.
Up close a little dove,
traveler of bird and light
dressed in morning clothes.

Let the singer sing the baguala,
let life sing,
because even though the night settles in
the moon returns
and love returns.

Faraway moon
crystal pain
up close a daisy,
traveler of dawn
lit up little bird.

Faraway moon
lost signal
up close a lantern,
traveler of furrow and flower
found little key.
