Jorge Luis Borges - The Moon (for Maria Kodama)

The moon of the nights is not the moon
Whom the first Adam saw. The long centuries
Of human vigil have filled her
With ancient lament. Look at her. She is your mirror.

And disregards the rest...

How ghostly my life
in its fall and rise.
Always I see myself waving to myself,
floating away from the one waving.
