Moonlighting story

Weekly ritual in my balcony

continuing with my moonlighting story

tonight the moon is laughing at me

for pretending you are just as silly

i shut my eyes and willed

like I did in my girlhood years

to invade your consciousness

till I gave up in exhaustion and tears

all i got was a blanket of obscurity

as impenetrable as the night

while the stars continued to mock me

as the moon drifted out of sight
