The Pink Moon
or
When the Moon is in Eclipse
even though it's dark
it doesn't mean it ceases to exist.

One morning I woke up and imagined the pink moon
rotating wrapped in blue-green topaz.

The April pink moon.

April marked the beginning, once again, of our brief love story.
Composed of self-contained little tales for years.
Fireworks of love confessions and evenings.

Never in the morning.
Fireworks that the next morning seemed as if they never exploded.

Always at night.
The whole moon, the half moon, the crescent moon...

That April night
at five in the morning, I saw it alive, whole, and pink in reality.
With you as a witness confirming it.

It was the time when the fireworks shone in absolute light, like never before.

The light turned into darkness.
The pink moon is in eclipse.

When the moon is in eclipse,
even though it's dark,
it doesn't mean it ceases to exist.

Ιt seems that the sun has risen.
