Moonwater

Where the night pours its light

In the coldest winter we must be.

Frozen river reflects the light of the moon,

tiny lights of the season spread wide,
and it should make my heart melt
into a tender stream.

But I remember the end—
how would the grave of my beloved be
in this harsh winter,

how would he be unappearing.

Just like my grief, how unseen and eternal.
