The moon sits

Like a firstborn whose place has been taken

By her father’s sun

Simply because she is a woman

August night is her birthnight

And no star is here to give her wishes

Even the ducks have turned their backs on her

Take solace, opalescent moon

Breathless and sultry

On a humid August night

For Eugenia writes you thousand consolations

Exquisite poetry

To be sung for a thousand years
