Yes, I prefer minimalism, sometimes—more or less. Recently, more often again. Then I think, in a few lines or with just a handful of words, everything can be said. You don’t have to struggle to find the right words; you have to get rid of them, and that’s just as hard—at least. But sometimes, it’s not. There are things for which even a whole novel isn’t enough.
I sense it
just a moment ago
he looked over my shoulder
while I was writing
—the moon

Poetically speaking, moonlight casts a magical spell on our senses and emotions. Its gentle, silvery glow transforms the night into a mysterious landscape, stirring imagination and feelings. Yet, it neither affects our lives nor our health, nor can we physically feel it – it is simply too faint for that.
Although not physically measurable, moonlight can be metaphorically felt as a cool touch on the skin. It evokes sensations of calm, longing, or romance and creates an atmosphere of contemplation. As a symbol of change and cosmic cycles, it has always inspired artists and poets, who strive to capture its ethereal beauty in their works. What would we be without the moon?

the moon
he gazes into the night
but he doesn’t know her

The poem is contemplative and introspective, with a sense of quiet mystery. It feels gentle yet distant, much like the moon itself. The way the moon is personified—gazing into the night but not truly knowing her—evokes a feeling of longing, curiosity, or perhaps quiet resignation. There’s no urgency or intensity; instead, there is a soft and subtle acknowledgment of this unbridgeable distance between the moon and the night.
when it’s just us
we remain quiet—
the moon and me

The poem has a subtle yet elegant symmetry, created by the balance between the speaker, the moon, and the silence they share. The first two lines set up a mirrored structure: “when it’s just us” reflects intimacy, and “we remain quiet” mirrors the peacefulness of that moment. The final line brings both the speaker and the moon into equal standing, emphasizing their quiet connection. The dash before the last line creates a pause, highlighting the reflective symmetry between the quiet of the speaker and the quiet of the moon.
