Below a Sky Few Moon Have Seen

We held hands 
in the Hit the Road 
Highway cafe,
below a sky
few moon have seen.

The mountains were still
falling, just like
in a dream 
where the 
stars used to shine.

The planet 
curves down 
on the western side
as oceans swelled on the east.

Here we were stuck in 
the middle, on the
edge of eloquence--

preparing our
bows against the beast.

Unrivaled mutations rose
in the shaded starlight,
they walked down the 
highway in the dead of the night.

The darkness sang just
like the end of a song...

We never should had 
come here,
we do not belong.
