In the shadow of an alien sun, I awaken from my own cry. Eyes fill and chest heaves in the familiar ritual to purge the demons of my black dreams. But I'm all alone in the night, nothing to lead me out of the dark, and the pain won't go away.
I am lost, the vast sky a bottomless maw waiting for the chance to engulf me; the unfamiliar stars form no map to guide me. I am so far from home.
In the shadow of an alien sun, alone in my tent, I cry until I sleep once more.
