the earth's axis
has tipped to the side
The compass
spins wildly
with no bearings
to read
The gyroscope
tumbles blindly
no direction to see
In this night
on this mountain
there are no stars to be found
as the clouds have gathered
to hide them from my sight
What was north
south
east and west
are now forever gone
I can only
sit through the dark
and wait
wait on the dawn
the sunrise
of the new east
