a life full of eclipses April 11, 2012

 


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.
