I wake in a fog
 moon outside my
window 
bathed in cloud,
I see her face, crater eyes,
 deep, dark, full of
mystery I
 will never comprehend 
, full of pain and anguish, 
only she knows, 
only she feels,
 the scars not nearly
as visible 
as the wounds the moon reveals.
How do we survive in a universe 
that is so dead set against us?
How do we get out of an orbit 
that brings us back each day
 of week or month or
year 
to the very place we started?
I wake in a fog of my own desire,
 little understanding
that she lives
 in a cloud of pain,
 a life full of
eclipses 
that darken her and her heart.
