Silent stranger,
The moon over the city
Passing unnoticed.
~
Neighbors chattering,
Neon lights, cars humming.
The lone moon, passing.
~
Autumn, all these leaves
Falling through the damp air
Lay on the floor, silent.
~
Alone on the balcony,
Cool summer breeze carries –
Buzzing voices of too many houses
Drawn tight together like a honeycomb,
Basel scent,
And the light of this full moon.
~
Poetry,
A simple smile yearning
To your height
– O Moon.
