Not beautiful as her
They told me the Moon is beautiful,
But I didn’t believe, and now they force me to look.
I fixed my gaze on that which they claim is most beautiful.
Confused, I turned back to them: “Why do you say it is beautiful?”
“Why not?” they asked.
Smiling, I answered, “How can something be pretty
If it doesn’t have eyes like hers, eyes that are an eternal prison to me?
How can it be beautiful if it lacks her smile,
A smile so radiant I forget my name every time I see it?
How can it be beautiful if it doesn’t resemble her?”
Laughing, they asked, “What does she look like?”
Smiling, I replied, “I do not remember.”
