In the north
At the northernmost point
Of the moon

Standing at the rim
Of another wide old / worn gray crater
I saw it


I stood there in the sun
Waiting for days

Just to be sure
I never slept
I couldn't sleep

The anger wouldn't leave me
As the countless hours passed
The beating of my heart only gained speed


Along the towering edge of that deep deep crater
The sun always shone

It never set
Under that unyielding, all consuming, unyielding scalding glare
In a funny way it made me think of home


I see it now


Is this all I am?
This is all I am.


It was there it saw it there
It was at the crown of eternal sunlight
It was there I saw my sister and I reflected

It was there that I realized
The ocean of frigid night that flooded the basin of the crater,
Never to be illuminated

Neatly boarded the ceaseless summer
Because by it's nature
Any peak of perpetual sunlight

Is linked to a sister of infinite night

Just like the black sea

Of the moon maybe
I belong nowhere but here
