• Under the sky
    is the land and the sea
    the faces and faces
    that plague you and me

    the torment, the sorrow
    the utter despair
    cast down by the moon
    and its pale golden stare

    we lie on the pavement
    look up at the stars
    the voids deep inside us
    so close yet so far

    the sky now goes dark
    the moon blotted out
    we shut our eyes softly
    and succumb to our doubt
