Full Moon in Ljubljana
How perfect a night
when the moon is included
when you can see stars
add an old church dome,
and the next day, Beethoven
played on church bells,
the first notes of Ode to joy.
It soars above the animated streets,
the terrace-to-terrace restaurant scene,
past the sad-eyed accordion player,
and the memory of the moon starts to sing
Yes, I see all of this
and you see me, in borrowed light
in my phases
