Luna Lunera: A Poetic Invocation of Fallen Moonlight and Mythic Magic

Beyond the sky’s last reflection,
beyond the space wherein love dwells
and our voices will never reach,
your moonlight fell exhausted—
luna lunera, cascabelera,
O loca luna,
ojos azules, la tez morena.

O moon, illuminate my path.
Give me the gift of poetic magic—

enable me to rescue you
from where you fell
and bring you back with me,
moonlight—silvery skin
and charcoal eyes, luna lunera,

lunita mía, come back to me

O luna loca

cascabelera!
